Mark, I'm quite sure your response to Kinsella is Pavlovian: the merest
mention instantly provokes a carnivorous recipe. I'm only disappointed it
doesn't feature some exotic species of wildlife. It does sound good, I do
admit.
My favourite chicken thing at present is Manny "stripping the chicken" in an
episode of Black Books. I don't know if Black Books made it to the States,
so no doubt this will mean nothing...
