地鶏

Jidori - a word you'll now see being used in the menu of fancier restaurants in San Francisco. It caught me off-guard and I thought it meant "organic" or "all natural".

But free-range is not necessary organic, right?

Another word you'll see more often in an English menu these days is Kombu (昆布). I guess people are really expanding not only in culinary taste but also its diction.
