Once Grandma quit raising chickens, I only ever had store bought. Mom and Dad live in town since Dad worked security. We ate beef my great Uncle raised and my parents paid for. We also ate a lot of deer and elk. Mom and Dad would put in for the tags and hope for something. Store meat was way to expensive. We'd get a pheasant every now and then from an uncle, and we'd fish a lot.
I actually am not a huge fan of chicken. Even less of the mealy, dry things that pass as commercial chicken breast. If the choice is that for meat, I'd much rather just eat a plain salad. Fried chicken a few times a year is fine by me. I will make chicken and veggie soup when I have extra cockerels now. I much prefer the chicken in the soup than anything.
I'm odd on my flavor preferences I guess. I'm very much a red meat person, though the right type of fish is great to have regularly. Most people I know are all "I like the white fish because it doesn't have a fishy flavor". Bleh. I prefer salmon, steelhead, trout, and sturgeon. Fish my friends don't like, but I could eat every day and be happy. How can they eat tilapia? That stuff tastes nasty.
