the chicken from the soup

The centuries old, vexed question at the heart of Judaism remains: what do you do with the chicken from the soup? We prepare it 3 ways, with nuts - including Eva Ginston's Wedding Chicken and a chicken salad with rocket and skordalia, and a warm dish with basil pesto and almonds.
