Erik Desjarlais has penned a piece for Find Eat Drink about the clabber fed chickens he serves at Evangeline.
These birds get the extra calcium from the clabbered cream and can support more weight. More flesh, more fat, more flavor. The clabber makes the chicken happy and delicious, and a happy bird means happy chef. And happy guests. Organically raised, tended to like babies, but not certified organic. But who needs the certification? These are the finest birds I have ever seen.
Ohgod, that’s it. I’m going vegan.
Um, why would that cause you to be vegan? Is that to imply that you’re already vegetarian and, therefore, that article doesn’t much pertain to you as you wouldn’t consume said chicken in the first place?
