When I saw the picture, before I read the title. My first thought was, "Why the hell would you put an entire chicken on top of the mashed potatoes without carving it first?"
Well, because it really tiny!
I do not understand the popularity of Cornish game hens. Is it actually tasty to some folks or just good looking on a plate? I mean, don't get me wrong, this posted pic looks delicious!
Every time I've had one, including roasting them myself more than once, they've had a weird texture and tasted very inferior to regular chicken.
Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure every other bird I've had has been superior in taste and texture to these mini chickens - normal chicken, crazy huge GMO chicken, turkey, duck, goose, quail, pheasant, ostrich, dove - does anyone really like them or is it just the aesthetics or maybe the idea that you're eating a whole chicken?
Eraserhead has ruined this for me.
