Christmas nuggets?

 THREE FRENCH HENS?  OR WOULD WE RATHER HAVE WINGS?  

On the 3rd  Day of Christmas my true love gave to me …

Well We already have a tree and 3 birds so how about making it a half dozen?  

Now we’re not talking regular feathered friends these are French Hens.  They weigh in at somewhere between 10 and 13 pounds on average and totaled up probably come in at a price tag of about $50 give or take.   So this part of the Christmas treasure isn’t to be sneezed at.  On the other hand it would appear the Americans have changed their tune when it comes  to this barnyard staple.  Recent data  indicate that we would rather have little bits of chicken than the whole bird.  

When it comes to  chicken we love our wings and our nuggets.   Now I’ve looked at a few chickens—French and otherwise—and can’t see the nuggets and yet we eat around 2.3 Billion servings of them a year.  

Now I can recognize the wing and lo and behold our consumption of them is on the rise as we recorded chewing down. A billion servings of them. And maybe as many as 9.2 billion individual wings.  Although the pandemic  brought a temporary halt to this activity, the last recorded  world title/record  wing eater slammed down 501 wings in 30 minutes.  That is nearly 17 wings a minute which is certainly enough to make Buffalo  (and anywhere else) go wild.  

Well so far on our gift parade we are giving  our true love a whole new  perspective  on giving someone the bird and maybe seeking peace and joy requires  a whole new perspective  on gifts and what is to be given.  Maybe being responsible for each other is a gift  that would put us at the top of the pecking order especially if we didn’t look around to see who was ahead and behind us so often.  

Well that’s about all for today as I hear. Other things calling… oh listen closely. It may be more birds… four of them?
