Maree’s correct, Pixie.
Maree, I’ve never heard it said about cutting it off before cooking though? That’s a new one on me. 
Mind you, I wouldn’t fancy eating it, bet its all gristle.
Nooooo! It’s 6am! Why am I starting my day like this?!

As Trigger said to Rodney… ‘Oh well, you live and learn’.
I always thought the ‘Parson’s Nose’ was a sexual, or urinary organ and that all the chickens you buy to eat were male!

Yep! Now, l feel very foolish as l have kept chickens for over 16 years! I haven’t noticed a ‘Parsons Nose’ on them when l’ve checked inside them to see if they’re eggbound!
I don’t feel very well

Chicken soup is supposed to be good for sickness 
Just an aside but food poisoning related, I’ve just had a yoghurt from the fridge dated 3/3/2022, tasted fine.
Hi
Listen to Art, she is very intelligent and has a lot of Commonsense.
I am a scientist,Art, Summer, Ruthio, Ripple and Morti scare me .
They remind me of some of the ladies I used to employ.
Daily bollockings, I learnt a lot from them.

Re The Parson’s Nose - we always called the tail end of a chicken by this name when I was a kid.
About 30 years ago, I remember visiting St Mary’s Church in Nantwich and I saw the famous “Parson’s Nose” carving on the last misericord in the choir stalls.
Apparently, around 1400 AD, a carpenter had been contracted to provide new choir stalls for the church.
The vicar was either slow to pay the carpenter or did not pay at all.
In retaliation, on the last misericord in the stalls, the carpenter carved a bird with an image of that Vicar’s face with protuberant nose on the bird’s bottom.
I have found a photo of it but the profile of the parson on the bird’s bum is not very clear in this photo - it looked funnier in real life!
