Stock cubes.

Nibble a stock cube and taste the wine.

They just think we're all too thick to understand the word poultry.

Or maybe they'd been sampling the goods and were too pissed to remember the word poultry ...

If you can have 'eggy' surely you must be able to have 'chickeny'?

But does this follow to it's natural conclusion? Of course: beefy; porky; not so sure about lamby .

To be sure, it would have been more correct to state 'goes well with anything fishy or chickeny' so it was a style I think.

Maybe poultry was too close to the paltry nature of the bouquet so they didn't want to suggest it to customers.

Blandmum · 19/01/2008 21:18

Fishy?

Like a fanjo with something unmentionable?????

LadyCellophane · 19/01/2008 21:19

Perhaps turkey is included - that's kind of chickeny (?)

Poussins?
