Eat My Globe

The History of Chicken: The Egg or the Hen


Listen Later

In this episode of Eat My Globe, our host, Simon Majumdar, shares the fascinating history of chicken, which arguably has increased humans’ meat consumption in recent memory. It is an animal that originated in Asia, has links to the Tyrannosaurus Rex, and initially spread around the world through cockfighting. The evolution of the chicken –and its egg –from a highly prized ingredient in ancient timesto what we now find as something commonly found in our supermarketsis amazing.
