Brekke asked:
<<< Could anyone provide me with information on chicken breeds available in
Europe during our time period (date and place would be a plus)?? And if
yo know of any such breeds, is there any source where I could get them
around NYC?? We're trying something, just for fun here: comparing
several types of chicken using one recipe (Markham's excellent way to
cook chicken) for flavor comparison. >>>
Marcus gave you a very good reply. I learned a number of things from his short snippet. Thank you, Marcus.
For some reason the digest got his message, and Ana's, before Brekke's message showed up.???!
