Because in 1972 when refrigeration was nowhere as good as it is now, chicken was expensive as fuck and a rarity.

There are recipes from the 40/50s for 'City Chicken' which is not chicken for that very reason - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_chicken

Only because I looked him up when he was first mentioned 

[Monkeys Fist 44186]

I didn't. 

I knew all about his difficult childhood. 

From my aunt. 

Who chinned him. 

In Birmingham.

Well I hope they make the most of the weather, cos "weather" isn't a concept they'll need to concern themselves with for the next few years.

They look great. Pretty much cut out all my carbs at the moment though. Can you make me some breadless bread?
