"Kampong" Chickens
Many of you may be familiar with the eggs sold in supermarkets labelled "Kampong Chickens".
A report in the Sunday Times (3rd February 2008) clarified that the label "kampong chickens" does not mean that the birds get more room to run around in, like free-range chickens in the West.
"Kampong" here means that the birds are hybrids of indigenous local fowl with farmed birds, hence their different build and flavour.
