on Medieval Benedictine Monks and Chicken Dishes Today

"For the past six thousand years, humans and chicken have shared an intricate common existence. Today's chickens provide us with plentiful meat and eggs and are the most common form of poultry consumed across the world.

"Our current cultivated chickens descended from an ancestral species of Asian jungle fowl, bred to be very passive with little fear of humans and an ability to lay many eggs quickly. However, chickens were not always the easy-going birds they are today. If you can't get enough of chicken or eggs, you should probably thank medieval Catholic monks."

A recent uCatholic post offered an insight in the practices of Benedictine Monks during Medieval times and our chicken/egg dishes today.
