but the Indonesian chicken breed known as Ayam
Cemani takes ‘black’ into an entirely different realm,
not only is all black on the outside all of
it's internal organs are black! skin, beak,
plume, tongue, legs, toe nails, even its meat, bones, and organs
and stranger still the bone marrow is black, their blood, although
not black, is very dark coloured, Ayam Cemani is so spectacular and exotic that it
is referred to as the 'Lamborghini of poultry' that is reflected in their
price, the word ‘Ayam’ means ‘chicken’ in Indonesian, and ‘Cemani’ translates
to ‘completely black’ in Javanese, this exotic breed originated from Java in
Indonesia, they were introduced to Europe in 1998 by a Dutch breeder, where
they drew considerable interest amongst poultry enthusiasts due to its looks
and genetic make up,
so how much to buy one? well Greenfire Farms can sell you a young pair for $1,999, or for a 1 month old $275 from Cemani Farms, I wonder what they taste like? no let me guess, chicken!
