Hung Yen (Vietnam) (AFP) – On a farm close to Hanoi, Le Van Hien picks out his best bird among 2,000 ‘dragon chickens’ — a breed with legs as thick as a brick that can fetch up to $2,000 a head, popular among the wealth during Lunar New Year. The lumpy legs of the Dong Tao chicken — named after the commune where they’re bred in northern Vietnam — are considered a delicacy and are a particularly popular dish among the wealthy during Vietnamese new year, known as Tet.
