Mouths to Feed Playing Chicken

By Celia Barbour

few weeks ago, I sat in on a class at the Culinary Institute of Amer- A ica. The students were midway through a section on meat fabrication — “fabrication” being a tidy little euphe- mism for butchery. (And a term that has always confused me, because doesn’t “fab- ricating” something usually mean putting it together? Which is not, you know, what you do with an animal carcass.) Anyway, on one of the days I was there, the subject was chickens — how to cut them up, de-bone them, airline the breasts, French the legs. The wonderful teacher, Chef Thomas Schneller, asked the students why it might be important for a chef to learn these things, since, after all, slaughterhouses offer chickens pre-cut into all sorts of parts. “It might be cheaper to do it yourself?” said one student. Schneller nodded. “What else?” “You might not be able to buy the exact cuts you want,” said another. Again the teacher nodded … waited … looked around. “What else?” I forced myself to stay quiet.
