最近いろんなブランドの精肉をスーパーで見かけますが、
阿波尾鶏という鶏肉、初めて見ました。
徳島の地鶏なんだそうです。
地鶏と呼ばれるのは、日本で明治時代までに定着した鶏の品種の血を50％以上引き継いでいて、
さらに平飼いで飼育されたもの、ということで、
まぁ、どうしてもお高くなりますよねー。
ねこは平飼いの養鶏農家さんを見学したことがありますが、
その後にブロイラーの生産現場を見て、あまりのショックに涙がでたことがあります。
愉快な話ではないので余り書きませんが…。
モモ肉でｸﾞﾗﾑ300円はなかなかなお値段ですが、適正価格なのだろう、と思います。
味のしっかりした美味しいお肉でした。

Broiler is the most common chicken meat here, supposedly like any other countries.
Chickens were first brought to Japan as pets and for cockfighting,
and it was only in Meiji(after 1868) era that they started raising them for food.
Japanese Industrial Standards differentiate those chickens that settled in Japan
by the end of Meiji era, from broilers.
If farmers grow chickens that are of over half of the said blood,
and grow them in spacey cage over eighty days, they are defined as Ji-Dori.
Whereas, a broiler is, most of the times, stuck in a small cage where they can hardly move,
pecking corns and water that run right under its nose all the time...
It was shocking, too shocking, to see the farm for the first time.
I usually try not to remember the unhappy memory, and buy broilers sometimes,
but today, I chose to cook one of the Ji-Doris.
Oh, it tasted very good.
I know it's not only the taste, but also from what I know...
