What the hell is pollo criollo?
Can someone please tell me what creole chicken is? We're in bumfuck, on the Peruvian border, and the only thing we can find to eat (other than cow-hoof soup) is creole chicken. The guy swears its chicken. It's like chicken, he says, only better. It's creole chicken.
It's dark meat, and oilier than chicken, and richer, and Aimee swears its beef, but beef doesn't have that speckled skin from where they yank the feathers out. Big chicken? Maybe it's big chicken. The bone on Aimee's plate was bigger than that of a goat leg, so that's one big fucking chicken. It's gotta be gallina. It's gotta be big chicken.

wouldn't "creole" refer to the way the bird is prepared? y'know, carribean style, a little o'this, o'that... the sultans play creole, yeah, creole...
Yeah, that's what you'd think. But it wasn't chicken! Aimee had a bone in hers bigger than any chicken bone I've ever seen. It was some kind of big chicken, I tell you. The meat tasted like goat meat or something.
I refuse to eat such confusing meat anymore!
That's an interesting but totally disturbing theory, and it looks like I'm going to have to do a bit more research on exactly what we ate. More to come...
We now have reason to believe it was peacock. Peacock, for the love of god!
