Black-Chicken-Rare
In Indonesia, there's a rare species of chicken
called the Ayam Cemani. The chicken is covered head to claw in black, even down
to its bones. Pretty metal, right? The bird is probably the closest thing to
the fabled Black Chocobo outside your PlayStation, except this one you can
deep-fry.
The Ayam Cemani features black plumage, legs,
tongue, beak, meat, bones and even organs. Talk about consistency. While the
chicken's blood is about the only thing that isn't black, it is a darker shade
than most poultry species. The chicken's noir pigmentation is thanks to a
genetic trait called fibromelanosis.
If you have the stomach to try one and can get past
the complete deafening darkness of its flesh and bones, an Ayam Cemani is worth
$2,500.
I wonder how they tell when it's fully cooked.
