Rotisserie poultry.

These beasts are from the rotisserie chicken shack in Coustellet. On market day you have to get there before 11:00 to get your choice.

They roast these birds over a pan filled with garlic and potatoes. The larger bird is a "ferme" chicken, which means what it sounds like, a free-range chicken from a real farm.

The two smaller birds are pintades or guinea fowl.

All three birds would fit inside a Costco roasted chicken. But they were very good lean birds and had a much stronger flavor. That's a vat of rice next to them.

Reminds me of the old Dave van Ronk lyrics.

"Chicken is nice,
Chicken is nice,
Chicken is nice, with palm butter and rice."

They were.
