Chicken

I have bought chicken from the supermarket a few times now, and on each occasion I’ve been struck by the size of the portion. Are they growing super-chickens here? The chicken breasts are large enough for one breast to make a dinner for two, and the legs are enormous! Have they been crossed with moas at some distant point in their past?

It turns out that New Zealanders are quite protective about their chickens, and all chicken bought and sold in NZ is from NZ chickens, which are free from many of the diseases which affect other parts of the world. There is a complete ban on chicken imports.

Right, I’m off to curry some chicken for dinner tonight.
