You all have got me very interested in labels with respect to Imperial versus metric measure. I actually dug the chicken label out of the garbage so I could study it.
Note that this label is all in Imperial measure. I suspect that Max’s scales pre-date any sort of conversion to metric. And being a bit of a rebel and anti bureaucrat he’s not going to change without a fight.
The supermarket label however is all in metric. Because most recipes are based on weight in this hemisphere I do a mental conversion to get the weight of the chicken in pounds. Nothing close to accurate but I would guess this is around 2 1/2 to 3 pounds. Accurately it is 2.77 pounds. Close enough for government work.
