Last night Bryan and I ate our first homegrown chicken. Correction, it was a two year old rooster, and he was absolutely delicious! The dark meat was a beautiful color that I can only compare to chocolate, it was a bit too wild for my taste buds Bryan however devoured it! I on the other had loved the white meat which had a flavorful taste taste that I can only describe as "real" like the awakening of my taste buds, think of the Matrix when Neo realizes that all of his "life" was a lie. My taste buds feel they have been lied and tricked into believing store bought, commercially raised chicken, is the best tasting. We have opened our taste buds to a whole new way of life, from here on out we will only be eating our very own homegrown chicken.
My frugal thought for today is this. Cedar Rapids now allows you to have 6 hens in your backyard, get the hens use them for delicious eggs and then when they stop producing eggs take them to a friends farm and butcher them!
