"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.
