This Christmas, forget about serving turkey.   Be different.  Serve capon.   Capon?  Castrated chicken.   Why?  Coz it’s big enough to serve the football team that is your family (including your mother-in-law, grandparents and Aunt Agnes whom you haven’t seen in 15 years), and the flesh is firm, tasty and juicy with the right amount of fat.  Capons are at least 4 kg in weight, which make them ideal as a turkey substitute.   The fat content is a result of removing the testes from the cockerel which hinders the production of male hormones, which I suppose, indirectly means that the cockerels adopt female errrrr tendencies.  No breasts, though.   Which incidentally reminds me of this email that’s been circulating (article written by a Jonathan Hayter):

Staring at women’s breast is good for men’s health and makes them live longer, a survey reveals.

Researchers have discovered that a 10-minute ogle at women’s breast is as healthy as half-an-hour in the gym. A five year study of 200 men found that those who enjoyed a longing look at busty beauties had lower blood pressure and less heart disease and slower pulse rates compared to those who did not get their daily eyeful.

Dr. Karen Weatherby, who carried out the German study, wrote in the New England Journal of Medicine:”Just 10-minutes of staring at the charms of a well endowed female is roughly equivalent to a 30-minute aerobics workout. Sexual excitement gets the heart pumping and improves circulation. There is no question that gazing at breast makes men healthier.”

“Our study indicates that engaging in this activity a few minutes daily cuts the risk of a stroke and a heart attack in half. We believe that by doing so consistently, the average man can extend his life four to five years.”

The catch: The oglee had to be well-endowed. What the article didn’t say was if the breasts had to be bared, or how many men got a good face-slapping.

Thanks to Cumi and Babe_KL who collaborated with Gerald from Sunshine Chicken, a few of us drove up to Kuala Lipis in the rain to visit a chicken farm and witnessed the castration of the former Mr Cock.   The procedure seemed painless; I suppose the chickens didn’t know what hit them when the metal thingy was inserted into the flesh.  Perhaps they felt a tickle when their testes were pulled out.  Don’t try this at home.

The birds are usually 2 months old at the point of castration, and they are bred for a further 4 months, at which point, several changes would have taken place.  Their fat content would have increased and their combs and wattle would have stopped growing.

The chickens at Sunshine chicken farm are happy chickens (no pun intended).   Unlike certain chicken farms where the chickens are cramped into tiny little hostels, these buggers roam free and are fed a premium diet which includes “Ma Cho”, a type of Napier grass that looks like pandan.  Also, no antibiotics or growth hormones are used.   This probably explains the higher price tag, but what price health, eh?

Both capons and free-range (kampung) chickens are available, and if you’re looking for a change this Christmas, they are currently being sold at O Gourmet in Bangsar Shopping Centre.   For more information on where the chickens are available, check out the website.  You can also call Sunshine Chicken at 03-9102 3950 for more information.  I’ve already placed an order for 2 capons and 3 free-range chickens.  My mother-in-law is apparently going to cheer up the entire Liverpool Fan Club in Malaysia this Christmas.  Don’t call me for your free invitation.
