In the huge Jetro restaurant-supply warehouses they’re stored next to the milk and cheese.
It takes a special cook book to have enough amphibians for their own section.
No doubt a Thai cookbook. You wouldn’t believe the foods that never make it onto the table in Thai restaurants in the West. 
Not pigeons I hope. :eek:
Not that I know of, but they are a Chinese dish. I’ve seen the wife’s Chinese uncle order them in Chinese restaurants here. 
Pigeons are a classic dish in French cooking.
Rabbits are commonly under poultry in many cookbooks, especially french ones.
Well, they do taste like chicken.
I was just teasing Sam. He lives in Thailand and he’s the resident pigeon expert around here. 
Cite?
Page 248, here, for example.
(That’s from the Good Housekeeping cookbook. Note that rabbit recipes are under “poultry.”)
Shalmanese is right–I’m not sure how “common” it is, but I will say that it is not unusual to see rabbit recipes in the poultry section of cookbooks. Also, the butchers around here that do live poultry also usually do rabbit.
Why did I have to follow that link? :smack: Now I want a pet Australorp.
love Alton Brown, I watch re-runs of this show all the time just for the science that comes out of cooking food… he’s the perfect combination of crazy and brilliant to prove entertaining as well. 
LOL xD I smiled through the entire article, that’s for the pick-me-up Levdrakon and consider my eyes opened… “nog farmer” bwah-ha-HAA.. who knew??

Just going back to the original question for a moment, while it is true that eggs are not usually refrigerated in supermarkets here in the UK, in my experience most people do keep them in the fridge once they get them home. I certainly do, but that’s just out of habit and because I don’t know where else I’d keep them if I didn’t, rather than for any perceived food-safety reason.
Eggs are usually unrefrigerated in groceries in Trinidad, from major chains to small independent stores. The Hi Lo in Westmoorings has them stocked on a shelf over one of those open frozen units, expat area so maybe it is for the customer’s perception? I believe the eggs used to be locally produced(they were all brown) but recently imported white eggs from the USA have made an appearance.
I’m guessing US eggs need to be kept chilled, but UK ones don’t, because of the US washing process described in this article - Why American Eggs Would Be Illegal In A British Supermarket, And Vice Versa
(seriously, it’s rather interesting) 
I’d say it must be about a 50/50 split. I don’t know many people who keep them in the fridge. Anyone who does a lot of home baking probably won’t.
Don’t forget your Hobbit chicken coop. They come in small, medium, and large.

Or maybe you would be interested in something solar powered to chauffeur your layers/the girls/Mrs Daisy(s) around the backyard.
Do you find yourself disappointed that the 1950’s predictions of the Jetsons lifestyle for our time have yet to be realized? Looking for more convenience in your day-to-day life? Flying cars may not be available yet, but a solar-powered, self-propelled chicken coop with an automatic feeder/watering system and security system is! It even has a one year, manufacturer’s warranty on materials and craftsmanship.
