The most consumed type of meat in European countries

  1. In ancient Russia eating calves was prohibited with severe punishments if violated.

    E.g., there is a story about famine when some people killed and ate another man (!), an other group ate a calf. The first group was forgiven, the second was burnt in fire.

    This tradition changed a lot during the rule of Peter I. The ‘chicken style’ nowadays is a simplification.

  2. Cheapest. Chicken is by far the cheapest form of meat protein which when you think back, is amazing because it used to be one of the more expensive meat choices. I believe there is also pretty much universal acceptance of its “mostly” or “near enough” kosher/halal status because of how they’re slaughtered, ie even if not under supervision most people I know seeking halal food will accept fish or chicken before other choices, to avoid haram/traef meat.

  3. UK once ate all of KFC’s chicken. Global supply chains couldn’t restock it fast enough. The company had to publish an apology.
