I guess it is just out of the frame.<br /><br />Sue and Leon, 39º? Celsius? That is sweltering. I hope you have air-conditioning in your house. It's -1ºC here this morning.

It was confusing to tell what was what, and I didn't really ask. I think the one with the long feathers around the head and neck was a capon. The whiter-skinned bird right to the left was the goose the woman held up for us to see, and weighed.<br /><br />They sell birds like that, and rabbits, with their heads on so you can be sure of what you're buying. The bird is not a turkey but a big chicken, and the rabbit is a rabbit and not a cat.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-40548327091732191772009-12-15T13:09:34.510+01:002009-12-15T13:09:34.510+01:00Holy cow... quite the face on that Père Noël!

What in the world is the feathery bit in ...Hi Ken,<br /><br />What in the world is the feathery bit in yesterday's picture featuring the goose? <br /><br />I'm afraid that I prefer the more sterile American presentation of fowl without the heads, feet, etc. As I've said, I like duck and ducks so prefer not to be reminded of my roast's provinence.<br /><br />As a teen-ager in Minnesota, I shot many a duck, pheasant, and partridge. But at about age 20, I just couldn't do it anymore and sold my guns...wimpy, I guess. Maybe I'll take up shooting again if the ducks start carrying air-to-ground missiles to make it a fair fight.Bill in NHnoreply@blogger.com
