Now do chicken. Here in the USA chickens are getting bigger (I saw a 6.5 pound chicken in the store the other day) and blander. The tissue to me seems very spongy. What is going on with chickens?
Recently I've resolved to buy only Silkie chicken*
from stores. They are moderately sized and still taste good. They are easy to tell due to their black skin.
Yeah it's pretty crazy. The ones the supermarket uses for the whole roasted chickens seem to be smaller, so you might ask if they sell them uncooked.
Or check for local farms that sell free-range birds. They will have a more varied diet including insects, grubs, and not just corn or whatever they feed the birds at the big factory farms. They won't be cheap however.
