I'm familiar with scalding and plucking...and the accompanying smell. He described it as baking with feathers still on. He's probably been in the heat too long...

I've read of feathers-on chicken being baked in mud or clay; when done, break the mud/clay casing, et voila! zee feathers are pulled off with zee clay.

This is the first google mention I could find:

FOOD - CHICKEN IN CLAY - NYTimes.com

Years later, I dined in the home of Ed Giobbi, the painter and cookbook author - most recently co-author with Dr. Richard Wolff of ''Eat Right, Eat Well - The Italian Way'' (Alfred A. Knopf, 1985). The main course at this memorable meal was pollo in creta, which, he explained, was chicken baked in clay. He told me that he had obtained the recipe from a friend in Florence, who explained that originally the chicken was wrapped, feathers and all, in clay and that when the clay was baked and removed, the feathers came off as well.

So . . . we have turned a heroic act into a discussion of our bellies. Must be all INGO up in this piece.

Snails are delicious. True story.

I'm also told that, while their normal method of locomotion is quite slow, when given small cars in lab experiments, they are incredible drivers, to the point that the lab staff have difficulty keeping track of which car is which. They took to painting small letters atop the cars to identify them, and as it happened, the one in the car with "S" on top was fastest. The lead researcher was heard to exclaim, "Man! Look at that S car GO!"

That is all.

That includes 2 respect points for the distance you had to travel to get there.

He needed all of that for robbing the train passengers.

 

[oldpink]

It's really something how they try and make this terrorist look like someone "not that bad" by claiming that he was intending to rob the train.
As if the Jesse James model were something to admire?
Yeah, and all those trips to Syria were just to learn how to be a model citizen, right?
