“What’s happened to the ROAST chicken?” <3

Nobama, why don’t …
Nobama, why don’t you see for yourself? Go to the supermarket and buy a chicken, then go to a health-food store and get a free-range chicken. The difference is visible to the naked eye.

REL, supermarket …
REL, supermarket chicken has been pumped full of growth enhancers; this chicken grows too quickly to develop any fat. By contrast, a free-range chicken—and especially a heritage chicken, if you can find them—have time to grow, and develop plenty of fat. You’d be surprised at the difference in taste.

The yellow isn’t …
The yellow isn’t the fat. It is the diet the bird is fed.

What?? That comment …
What?? That comment makes no sense on many levels. The skin is yellow. So, we suppose, is the fat. All animals have some fat. That fact has no relation to health food stores! You could always have photography that doesn’t show real, natural colors if that makes you happy, yet uninformed.

Why would they sell a yellow chicken at a health food store? Wouldn’t that contradict the purpose of the store, if the yellow means more fat?

they won’t show all because youtube will band due to copyright and PBS will not allow because they want your money

Caponettes had a …
Caponettes had a pellet of an estrogen compound stuck underneath the skin, which caused the chickens to grow quite a bit larger.
Unfortunately, they caused cancer in humans, so they were
banned.
You can still buy capons (the caponettes’ brothers), but even they are becoming rare.

Why are the caponette chickens illegal? When I first watched this, I asked my mom about it & she told me she had an allergic reaction to it but I dont know why. I havent found anything online about them.

This is exactly …
This is exactly true.
You can still get a yellow chicken at either a farmer’s market or a health food store. Their taste is much superior.

Hedablinka, older …
Hedablinka, older chickens develop a stronger flavor, much bigger legs, much smaller breasts, and if not stewed or fricasseed, are too tough to eat. However, their taste is much superior than their younger sisters because they’ve had time to develop their flavor.
By the way, the caponette (the fourth one mentioned by Julia in this video) is no longer legal to sell, and hence have completely disappeared. Artificially enlarged with estrogen, they were shown to increase human’s risk of cancer

The chickens today arent yellow ecause we bred chickens (and pork) to be leaner. The yellow is the fat right beneath the skin. This means chicken taste more bland today than it did several years ago.

This is a fabulous video, but why can’t we see the whole thing, and where can we go to see it? I’d like to know the differences between the older chickens, I mean, what difference does a few months make in the life of the modern chicken, even if they’re really free range?

It depends on what is in the chickens diet. If its yellow chances are they were fed a corn based diet

I love this clip. Thank you so much for posting it. Julia was/is an culinary icon, few will ever come close. What charm, wit and humor she always displayed. I thought Julie & Julia was very well done. I am inspired.
