For most of human history, chicken was rarely on the menu. The Greeks barely ate it. Homer doesn't mention chickens at all. When they finally arrived, the eggs were the point. The hen's egg was the food. The bird itself was for cockfighting, omens, and waking the household up at an unreasonable hour. The Romans got more enthusiastic. Apicius has chicken recipes. People did, on occasion, eat the bird. But there was a calculation behind it that we've forgotten. A laying hen produces 200 to 300 eggs a year. A killed hen produces one dinner and ends the supply. Eating the chicken meant losing the eggs. So the chicken got eaten rarely, on feast days, when she'd stopped laying, or when there were enough cockerels around that nobody needed all of them. Medieval Europe ran on the same logic for a thousand years. The hen was a household appliance with feathers. She converted scraps, beetles, and whatever she could scratch out of the yard into a daily pulse of fat-soluble vitamins. You ate the eggs every day. You ate the cockerels you didn't need for breeding. You ate the hen herself when she'd done her time, and by then she required six hours in a pot and a hammer. Meat was scarcer because it cost something to produce. Every chicken dinner was a column of eggs that wouldn't be laid. People did the maths and the maths usually said: leave her alone. The chicken-as-cheap-everyday-meat is essentially a postwar invention. The bird in your supermarket has existed for about seventy years. The egg has existed for ten thousand. We forgot which one was the original product, because we forgot it ever cost anything to choose.



I have to be honest... 🔴
