Blackbirds?
Blackbirds?
I've just spotted these, deep frozen at Carrefour. Is this a British dish? What do you do with these things? 4 & 20 blackbirds baked into a pie? Pete
LOL! The French are hardly represented at all here in pattaya, but it could well be they stock it for French restaurants? No clue. I spotted them as the raw flesh is actually black. My eyes then went to the label, and there it was in English and Thai. I don't know if imported or local Thai blackbirds. Pete

Are you sure they are not just small black chickens? The meat is actually black on these things---revolting!. I have seen them in Bangkok at a supermarket recently, it may have been Carrefor. First time I saw them was 20 years ago in Had Yai, my then girlfriend, later to become my wife, had one in a bowl of soup. The very first condition of our marriage was that she never ever ate another one in front of me!
Cheers.
May you be in heaven half an hour before the devil know`s you`re dead!
Well, the label says 'blackbird' not black chicken so again no clue. They're about the size of a Cornish game hen, plus about 20%Nereus wrote:Pete, Are you sure they are not just small black chickens? The meat is actually black on these things---revolting!.

I hope they're not crow if local Thai birds as that's about the only blackbirds I've seen here. You know what they say about "eating crow"! Pete

Do you call them "chocolate chicken" and woudl that be Tom Yum chocolate? For me, I've never eaten a thing in thailand that was black.....Except for drinking a tall Irish Pint but that is really brown.

You have probaly eaten it if you have eaten Thai noodle soup.
