You guys might appreciate this story. When I was a kid, I lived in Uruguay (mid 50s) and I guess to find a butcher. One day, my mother brought home a live chicken for dinner. While she was out, she had the maid kill it. I don't know if the maid knew I was watching but the maid then proceeded to chop off the poor bird's neck. The chicken ran around for a minute or so without its head. When my mother got home, I told her I had seen the chicken running around with its neck. She wasn't very happy that a six year old had witnessed that.

Excellent, same thing happened to me about the same age (maybe 2 or 3 years older) I as staying on my Uncle's farm as I did for a few weeks every year. Ultra fresh chicken cooked in some many different ways and slaughtered on the block that very morning. Also, fresh vegetables, fruit and goats milk - which I had to endure everyday - no I can't even look at the stuff!

At Easter we used to roast an entire lamb on the spit and for big family gatherings one or two of the piglets would be prepared in advance for feasting.

Got me used to the sight of blood but my auntie (bless her) 'til to her last days teased me about those headless chickens and how I went screaming round the farm in fright at the sight of those wretched creatures.

And YES it was the best I think I've ever tasted - probably scrawniest but tasty still!!
