I am inclined to agree however, I just use the lunch meat not actual turkey
however, it truly is way more expensive
my mom spends like $25 on a turkey for christmas and a whole chicken is like 5 bucks or something

you know turkeys are much much bigger than chickens right?
on weight, turkey is probably cheaper.

how much do chickens weigh?
i doubt it's cheaper

couple of kilos

Turkeys need longer to mature than chickens
but I imagine if you're only paying $5 for a chicken, it will have been raised in pretty horrible conditions.

You wish
try filthy dark shed so tightly packed with birds that they can hardly move and have to walk over the bodies of their dead and rotting friends.

And the birds are engineered to grow incredibly fast and are pumped full of chemicals and hormones to speed their growth, before they and brutally slaughted at the end of their short and miserable lives.

This is a good argument against those that complain about Fois Gras
day to day farming on an industrial scale creates far more misery than the 10k geese slaughtered in France each year for their delicous silky livers.

Plus Foie Gras is fucking delicious
but battery chickens taste like shit.

and foie gras is at least 4000 times as delicious as chicken

First homecooked meal
after my diet is going to be beef wellington with a foie gras and mushroom duxelle.

maybe in a grocery store, but I buy my chicken from the butcher, it's free range and yes, only 5 bucks

( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 7 Apr 2011, 15:13, Reply)

Good for you
Though I struggle to understand how any farmer can raise a chicken and sell it for $5 and still be making money.
(Bazongaloid, Thu 7 Apr 2011, 15:15, Reply)

that was my thought
unless it is free range + growth hormones

not sure what to tell you, chicks are super cheap around here

well....
I have nothing to say to that. Other than that you get good value chicken.

It's still nicer than turkey though. Stop wasting your money on turkey.

Our Christmas turkey was £80 i think
it was massive though
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Thu 7 Apr 2011, 15:01, Reply)

why did you buy it if it's chicken's poor cousin?

( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 7 Apr 2011, 15:03, Reply)

Because our traditional christmas meal of Goose
has been usurped by the Merkin turkey industry and it's insidious marketing of Turkey being a christmas bird.
(Bazongaloid, Thu 7 Apr 2011, 15:05, Reply)

We have Goose at Easter instead

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Thu 7 Apr 2011, 15:06, Reply)

sounds like bullshit to me
if you want goose then have goose
( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 7 Apr 2011, 15:06, Reply)

goose will cost you £100 these days
and won't feed as many

nice though
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 7 Apr 2011, 15:06, Reply)

This is a super Turkey for Christmas, it's traditional init
I only by free range chicken which bumps up the price even more.
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Thu 7 Apr 2011, 15:06, Reply)

That is cheap.
A decent size turkey over here could cost £50
