Kiss Me, I'm a Foodie 7

There is a classic French recipe called poulet demi deuil, "chicken in half mourning".

Never heard of it. Delighted.

Why the mourning? And why half? Curious minds want to know.

Oh, just as suspected, there's alcohol in it. Cognac. But only a teaspoon. And a tablespoon of Rainwater Madeira. Incidentally, madeira is, of course, Portuguese for "wood".

Douse the shit brethren!

Wood, and chicken no longer in mourning, could be a lethal combo.
