Oh that sounds so yummy, we are going to my mother in laws tonight for roast chicken, and I bet it wont be anything like that.

her cooking ideas are really whacked, she under cooks chook
over cooks steak. We usually stop for Maccers on the way home cause we are still hungry.

She made a potato bake one time and wanted to make a crunch topping so she put potato chips on top and all it did was turn the chips soggy.
Her peas are so over cooked that they look like the surprise peas before you put them in the pot.

In mid America, I have seen potato chips used for crust.

Not a taste I like but I have seen it done where it was edible. Once out of five times maybe.

We have a sizing system here in kiwiland that is based on the average weight the chook.

A size 18 is approximately 1.8kg (about 3.9lb), with the range being 1.7 to 1.9kg

Thus size 16 is 1.5 to 1.7kg and size 20 is 1.9 to 2.1kg

I hope that my attempt at increasing international understanding is of help

So a chook is a chicken and the size 16, 18 is like a weight.

Kool.

Just an easy way for us to categorise our Poultry.
