Hello, I was wondering about your whole poussin, 2nd image from top (Spatchcock random weight 450-500 g). Has this been split (spatchcocked) or is this a whole bird? Is it called a spatchcock when split and a poussin when whole? I am looking to include whole poussin in a recipe book and I wanted to be sure that we can buy them whole for stuffing and wrapping etc.
thank you
Hi Kim
The image is of a whole poussin (spatchcock) and are sold whole or in a range of cuts to supermarkets and independent butchers stores. Poussin is correct however they are referenced as spatchcock in Australia also.
There are no issues of supply of whole birds for your upcoming recipe book. We would love to see a copy of your book when published so please let us know when this will be available.
