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