Capon

Went out with friends tonight. We were at this downtown restaurant called "Swan". On the menu, there was an entry made with "capon". We had no idea what capon was and the waitress vaguely told us that it was some kind of rooster. My brave hubby said "I'm gonna try it" and declared afterwards that it was just chicken. Nothing special.

I had my doubt. Why calling it "capon" if it's just chicken? Is it just a fancy name? So when I got home, I googled it. Oh my my MY! Capon is the chicken version of an eunuch! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capon)

That's just awful. The poor chicken. Not only that it is killed because we human wants to eat it, we have to torture it when it's alive! IT SHOULD BE BANNED!!!!!
