Yes, 6 dinners but from a 13 pound turkey... we can't get one dinner
from a cornish hen. Cornish hens are all for show, cutesy little
things, like fatty, boney, and tasteless parakeet. I'd much rather a
couple of tube steaks. A cornish hen is no more filling than two
fortune cookies and a lychee from a Chinese take out. And canned
lychees are a superb flavor and texture sensation like no other.
