Because we all know how uncivilised chickens can be sometimes…
For those of us not in the know, uncivilised chicken is the literal translation of ’Jungli Murgi’, which is more of a slang description of how the chicken you’re about to eat was raised i.e. not cooped up in some unnatural metal meshed, artificial light, automatically feeding machines environment, fed weight lifting buff up vitamins along the way sorta up bringing.
No. This chicken was raised old school. Like, a simple fence, a tray with water, a little house on the prairie in the corner complete with adoring farm kids to chase them around, squeals of laughter abound, precious exercise for the coming night where the chickens have to play hide & seek with hungry mongoose. These chicken are Darwin darlings, bush bunnies, uncivilised. Ca.
Is there any taste difference between ‘uncivilised chicken’ and the run-of-the-mill manufactured versions? Of course. When you eat ‘jungli murgi’, know that you are consuming the bloodline of a thousand brave and defying chickens who laugh in the face of ‘progress’ and have struck a path on their own, forging through the tall grasses of the dangerous highlands of Naitasiri, pecking away at conventionalism, eating the very hearts of their enemies with cold precise eyes, crowing to the full moon on top of tallest mango trees, their very essence containing the spirit of the land upon which they live on.
Or something along those lines >.>

The free-range chickens and eggs are more expensive then the caged one’s in Australia and I assume for the rest of the world – is that the same for Fiji? I can’t remember.
Oh and if you want to go to this place that servicesuncivilised chickens, go to Tata’s which is on the Nadi back road. My Nancy Drew eyes is working over time – notice the Chinese menu to the right.

From Wikipedia:
“Free range is a method of farming husbandry where the animals are allowed to roam freely instead of being contained in any manner.”

I love the term ‘uncivilized chicken’ – they should use it over here in Oz. And I wonder about that menu item chicken (frozen) – hey does it go with icecream? We used to have chooks at Vatuadova and one day my favourite coloured rooster, Toatagane, was chopped up for visitors. I refused to eat that day. It happened to my pet pig Kanakana too who copped it for a funeral. Sobosobo.
