The December Project – turning the foulest month into the fowlest month.
People have been cooking birds for a long time - if the rumours are to be believed, we’ve been enjoying wings, breasts and drumsticks somewhere in the vicinity of 250, 000 – 1.8 million years (yes, the enormous gap in scientific consensus struck me as odd too). Thanks to the delicious innovation of the Colonel, 90% of our bird consumption has probably taken place in the last 79 years. Although I reckon if the secret recipe had been around in the Cretaceous period he’d likely have found a way to batter and deep fry pterodactyls too. They probably tasted like chicken. (Doesn't everything?)
I digress.
There’s nothing paltry about poultry and the December Project is all about weird and wonderful ways to cook birds. If you have any recommendations, suggestions or insane ideas (the more nuts, the better), send ‘em my way – I’m open to all of it! In the meantime, the next few days are all about research. Stay tuned.
