These birds are most typically members of the superorder Galloanserae (fowl), especially the order Galliformes (which includes chickens, quails, and turkeys). The term also includes birds that are killed for their meat, such as the young of pigeons (known as squabs) but does not include similar wild birds hunted for sport or food and known as game. The word &#8220;poultry&#8221; comes from the French\/Norman word poule, itself derived from the Latin word pullus, which means small animal.The domestication of poultry took place around 5,400 years ago in Southeast Asia. This may have originally been as a result of people hatching and rearing young birds from eggs collected from the wild, but later involved keeping the birds permanently in captivity. Domesticated chickens may have been used for cockfighting at first and quail kept for their songs, but soon it was realised how useful it was having a captive-bred source of food. Selective breeding for fast growth, egg-laying ability, conformation, plumage and docility took place over the centuries, and modern breeds often look very different from their wild ancestors. Although some birds are still kept in small flocks in extensive systems, most birds available in the market today are reared in intensive commercial enterprises.Together with pig meat, poultry is one of the two most widely eaten types of meat globally, with over 70% of the meat supply in 2012 between them; poultry provides nutritionally beneficial food containing high-quality protein accompanied by a low proportion of fat. All poultry meat should be properly handled and sufficiently cooked in order to reduce the risk of food poisoning. Semi-vegetarians who consume poultry as the only source of meat are said to adhere to pollotarianism.The word &#8220;poultry&#8221; comes from the West &#038; English &#8220;pultrie&#8221;, from Old French pouletrie, from pouletier, poultry dealer, from poulet, pullet. The word &#8220;pullet&#8221; itself comes from Middle English pulet, from Old French polet, both from Latin pullus, a young fowl, young animal or chicken. The word &#8220;fowl&#8221; is of Germanic origin (cf. Old English Fugol, German Vogel, Danish Fugl). <\/li>\n<li>Appetizer &#8211; An hors d&#8217;oeuvre (\/\u0254\u02d0r \u02c8d\u025c\u02d0rv(r\u0259)\/ or DURV(-r\u0259); French: hors-d&#8217;\u0153uvre (listen)), appetizer or starter is a small dish served before a meal in European cuisine. Some hors d&#8217;oeuvres are served cold, others hot. Hors d&#8217;oeuvres may be served at the dinner table as a part of the meal, or they may be served before seating, such as at a reception or cocktail party. Formerly, hors d&#8217;oeuvres were also served between courses.Typically smaller than a main dish, an hors d&#8217;oeuvre is often designed to be eaten by hand. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;ve outlined all the ingredients and directions for you to make the perfect Almost-Famous Chicken Lettuce Wraps.
