Description

Which came first the chicken or the egg?

Chicken may not give us the answer the age-old riddle, but it does look into both the contemporary culture of the ingredient and its historical path to becoming a global symbol of “soul food”. Every year, approximately 90 million tons of chicken, or about 40 billion chickens, 
is consumed around the world. This number exceeds the consumption of other 
main food livestock like cattle, pigs, and sheep. Free from religious taboos of 
certain geographical or cultural contexts, it also stands as a food item of peace that encompasses races, religions, and cultures. Chicken can be found in the iconic dishes of many cities and regions, as it is an edible symbol of universality and equality. From Coq au vin, kababs and pollo asado to Korean fried chicken, Magazine F: CHICKEN  explores how almost every culture has a traditional way to prepare and eat chicken.
