Cornish Hens -- Why So Expensive?

They are just small chickens, You can probably get them fairly cheaply in Aldi.

Guinea Fowl tastes much better. No fucking idea where you can buy it in the US though.

Little Italy?

Are they really that expensive? I never paid attention to the prices of them, but I've seen them for sale at discount grocery stores like Save-A-Lot, in the frozen section.

The most underwhelming thread of 2019. It just had to roll in at the last minute.

All they iz iz sick chickens!

Because of the area where you're purchasing them.

OP, they're usually very cheap. Where are you located?

Why not try quail? Or ortolan?

Try squab.

I'm in Los Angeles.

I didn't try Costco, they are probably affordable there.

Go for pigeon pie. It was eaten at Thanksgiving before the late 18th c.

I meant late 1800s^

The do have them at Aldi for cheap. When I was a kid mom use to buy them with “parts missing” which made them extra affordable. I’m not sure how the poor little birds had lost their parts.

In my country I can't even find them. Consider yourself fucking lucky you can even get them OP.

I don’t get why they’re so special; too much work for tinymeat.

Love the flavor.

[15] it’s not the size of the meat, it’s how you use it.

R16, but are they dark meat or white meat?

NEVER use this in a sentence that doesn't involve cocksucking.

sam's club $19.99 for 4 pack, now on sale $17.99 or maybe even less

They have to be flown in from Cornwall

... where the Duchess hatches them herself.

A pack of 2 is like $6 where I live. Hardly a bank breaker.

Quit being "extra".....buy a god damned chicken, like a normal person.

Cue the frau who is furiously typing away her recipe for crock pot cornish game hens...

Shit, it's the truth

They're not expensive, but I find them greasy and only tried them a couple of times.

We call them maizeish game hens

twink chickens ain't cheap, honey

this is a troll

Two words, OP:

Banzai chickens.

What I don't understand is why they take longer to roast than a full size chicken! But I love that little teeny tiny wishbone.
