A few years ago I had a simple chicken sandwich in Ireland.

It was one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten in my life.

There's way too much frankenfood in the US.

We've been dining on the US equivalent of Victory Gin for quite some time.

When we had the farm, we use to get day olds and its what you feed them that makes them tasty...The day olds could only get from two different breeds...They were not one bred. By 4 months they were ready to butcher and the cocks would average 5-6 pounds dressed and the females 4 to 5 pounds...hubby took orders from work and they all said it was the best chicken they ever tasted...25 chicks would go through 1/2 ton of feed in 4 months. Most of the feed they consumed in the last 2 month...by then I was putting out 2 50 pound bags a day...Much store bought chicken is soaked in water to give them more weight at the store.

We charged more than store bought, we had better chicken, and they don’t come cheap but well worth it. Its been so many years since I sold the farm I couldn’t tell you the name of the day olds. Only one farm sold them...but they also sold many breed chickens, including the ones that laid easter eggs, yellow, blue, and green. But the funniest ones were the polish chickens.
