The former

Do the upper classes eat chickens at all, or are they strictly for peasants?

Only if they’re glueten free and taken out of the mouths of some poor Andean peasant.

>>9494121
What makes this fancy? The fact that they threw peas on fish?

>>9494806
Chicken used to be a delicacy before factory farming, and the French still treat it as a special occasion food, almost like goose or turkey. So yes, yes they do, if anything the peasants never ate chicken because it meant giving up a regular supply of eggs.

>Do the upper classes
none of your concern faggot
you have work to do so do it and shut the fuck while minding your own business

>>9494994
What the fuck are you talking about? People slaughtered chickens all the time when they got too old to lay.

>>9494994
Hens don't lay eggs forever, they go into menopause and then the peasants ate them. They also ate all but a few roosters and when they inevitably became impotent, they were eaten too.

Probably because that filet has clearly been prepared using relatively advanced and high effort cooking techniques. In this case it seems to have been constantly basted as it was cooked otherwise its difficult to get that uniform and consistent outer texture.

it's not just france, most african countries consider it a delicacy

I'm pretty sure rich people still eat Sweet Potatoes, Brown Rice and those expensive cereals like pic related, etc

Of course

I think he's referring more to when big cities started becoming a thing so rural families began to dwindle in the 18th/19th centuries. But since it was still rare for a chicken to be slaughtered for meat, the normal folk that lived in cities couldn't really get it because it was either eaten by the poorer farmers or sold to the aristocracy.

>>9495157
At least in Southern Africa dirt-cheap fast good fried chicken (KFC, etc) is everywhere.

I guess I'm "upper class", and I've rubbed elbows with some richer folk. Yes, upper classes eat carbs.

>>9495271
Have also been around/ am friends with "very upper class" and it all depends on their childhood with some exceptions, one of them bejng that it's very common that the wives don't eat carbs, are always training and are very healthy, even those that aren't strictly "trophy wives"
