Taking live chicken to their kitchen?! :o

hs0zfe

There are cages full of chicken by the side of the road. I was wondering if they slaughter them there and then - or let the buyer take them alive? In India, it was the former, here it's the latter?

Who would want the blood and mess in their kitchen or back yard?

How common is this?

Do folks take live chicken into their condos in Hanoi, too?

Still very common up here, many people don't have fridges , so that's the only way they can have " fresh " meat, I always knew what the neighbours were having for dinner, it was either " quack, quack ", or " chirp, chirp ", couldn't hear the fish though. ( but sometimes smell it ).
But I see the 1/2 thawed chicken in the s/markets sells very quickly.
" Mess ", the only thing they don't eat, is the feathers.

l3ully

You choose, they will sell alive or kill and clean it.
You just pay the weight

Many countries/areas in SE Asia have a lot of poor people, and people one generation from village life, so things get eaten that westerners have never known as food.
That includes chicken's feet and chicken's heads.
They're sold in supermarkets here, and I'm guessing it's the same there.

That may well be true.
In Indonesia it isn't true, but most are killed with a little bit of ritual in the form of a thanks to God.
I'm making a video at the moment.

Well, it's not because of poverty that people want to buy alive chicken. They believe that live chicken are those farmers raise naturally (less chemical elements) in their farms (they called them "g脿 th岷 v瓢峄漬" or "g脿 v瓢峄漬" or "g脿 ta") - kind of organic food, different from "g脿 c么ng nghi峄噋". It's true that 2 different meats (I'm not sure if it's suitable to call chicken "meat" meat? Please help!) are different.

VNese chickens have different features like big thighs and skinny breasts.

KFC uses chickens from an Australian owned farm here which grows Western-style chickens with big breasts and regular thighs.

Live birds (of any type) sold in markets haven't had health inspections, either.

I tend to find western style birds have larger thighs than Asians, as well as bigger breasts.
