Day 3: Three French Hens

Cost: $100 each….why so expensive? They’re French.

Origin: ”French hens” are not actually French (kind of like “French fries”).  The term originated from the now-illegal activity of cock fighting.  The loser of the fight was commonly called a “French hen.”  Not wanting to be associated with a losing rooster, or the French, the owner would give his rooster to the owner of the winning rooster.  The “French hen” was never heard from again.
