Poultry and Game

This section calls for an awful lot of feather ruffling. I’m going to ruffle yours by not trilling yon where every dish comes from. And if your life feels incomplete without such knowledge, content yourself with the fact that I have bowed to pressure in other sections of the book, so you’ll be able to get your cultural and historical fix there. Besides, all you really need to know about chicken is that, in India, we always use it skinned, to prevent the sauce becoming too fatty. So if you’ve nothing better to do on a Sunday afternoon, you can always skin a chicken. We don’t do slimy floppy skin. Also, it’s always eaten on the bone it you don’t like it like that, feel free to ‘chuck dem bones’.
