I've looked through the past challenges and have decided on fowl for the May 2015 Challenge. What I like about it is it runs the gamut from domestic to game to waterfowl to exotics. If it has feathers it's eligible. The other thing I like is it can be affordable, or expensive, bought, raised, or wild. I mean there's not a lot that you can't do with a bird. Good luck to you all. I'm looking forward to some wonderful and creative dishes.

As this is a CHALLENGE I feel everything submitted should be new as in cooked this month just to be fair.

Indeed. If I were to do squab it would not be a repost from the fig challenge, it would be a fresh approach. Currently not planning on squab, but something that I don't remember seeing here on Cheftalk before. We'll see how it goes this week.

Just to clear the air my thing wasn't aimed at Chefbuba directly, but he brought something to the fore that's been in the back of my mind since these challenges started.  They should be a challenge, a throw down, a bring your best game for the month.  I didn't mean to offend anyone, or wrinkle feathers (insert pun), but to establish a level playing field for the SPORT of IT.  Thank you for (hopefully) understanding.

@Mike9 I agree, the intention was always to have a month of submissions that were crafted during the time of the challenge. I appreciate the images @chefbuba put up (those chicken and dumplings left me bruised from my tongue smacking me all over my face! /img/vbsmilies/smilies/biggrin.gif) - and over the last year or so it has become a bit of a trend to share images from the past at the very start of a challenge. I like that it is light hearted and focussed on having fun, but I do think it's a good idea to keep things centered around the month of the challenge and if someone shares an image from the past it should be noted that it isn't a challenge submission. Like you said, it keeps a level playing field for everyone that's interested in working something up for the challenge.

Looking forward to this one. Fowl spans every cuisine in history!
