And mushroom risotto.

I truly did not know people eat cornish hens. I thought that was like an 1800s thing.[/quote]

:lol: It is a small and delicious bird and cooks very fast. Very easy meal and presentation is impressive and wonderful.  
Try it.  Foolproof recipe.

One adult with a big appetite can easily eat one bird but we usually split two birds between 2 adults and 2 kids, with other sides and starch. [/quote]

So like a personal chicken! Thank you for your thoughtful response. I did not mean to respond to abruptly! We just didn’t eat these where I grew up.  [/quote]

Not the poster you're responding to, but we often had these in our family either for Sunday dinner or holidays/special occasions. It's a sweet story and sort of ties to your "old-timey" reference but my mom (who grew up poor in the country) was nannying for a family with more money "in town" in the 1950s. She saw Cornish game hens in a catalogue spread for a Christmas table, thought it looked so elegant, and said to herself "When I grow up and have money and my own house, that's what I'm going to serve" so she often did once she was in a position to. They are indeed visually impressive and wonderful. [/quote]
