Default Capons

I haven't seen capons for sale for many years. We used to have them sometimes as a Sunday roast. Delicious. They are not even for sale at our 2 farmer's markets.

Now they are called transexual chickens. Please, never tell the butcher
you want a cock either.

They are indeed hard to come by. You usually have to go to a real
butcher shop. A few years ago we wanted lamb for Easter. We were at a
Zehr's store and went to the meat counter to ask, since there was none
on the bunkers. My wife asked if they had a capon. The kid asked
"what's a capon?".

Pshaw. A rooster or a hen can now be a capon. They can be whatever they
identify as.
