a new thought on an age-old theme

.
the word for chicken in Turkish is tavuk.

strapped for food choices, i picked up a package of breaded patties, with a small chicken-like logo on them. i've seen the word piliç before. i cooked the patties, and ate. they had the consistency of tofu.

curious, i looked up piliç. chicken came up, but more specifically, chick, and pullet. i was eating very little chickens. genç tavuk. and it made me sad. i have a sympathy for animals, and small animals even more. already i'm eating lots of lamb and now i just digested a baby chicken.

strange and sad meats. the saga continues.
