Talk:Cornish game hen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Someone please find an expert on game hens. I highly suspect the city of Rock, Cornwall is responsible for both the Rock and Cornish breeds, as well as their crossing. Preferably, ask them to write articles for both :) Scott Ritchie 02:47, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

The first paragraph states that they are immature, but the second says "the result was a small bird...enough for a single serving", which implies that they don't get any bigger. My understanding is that it's the latter, but does anyone actually know? KarlM 00:28, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] White Meat?

...the result was a small bird with all white meat... Huh? I am a fan of cornish game hen, primarily because it has nice dark meat (along with nasty white meat) on it and tastes a bit like turkey. Where the originals all white meat, because the ones now certainly aren't. - MSTCrow 22:51, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Other knowlegable sites suggest (actually they say it right out) that Tyson was the originator of the cross between the Rock and the Cornish chicken. I wonder which is true? (I guess I need to create an account, huh. I am Dr. Jack in Phoenix 7 Oct 2006, 13:29 local))
