Someone mentioned capon on the Thanksgiving thread. This was what we had for Thanksgiving and Christmas when I was growing up, but I hadn't even thought about it for years. Since my parents will be joining us for T'giving this year, I would like to surprise them with a roast capon.
Is this something I could buy in a grocery store or do I have to travel a bit to a shop specializing in poultry?
How big are these (average)? I was going to roast a 20-pound turkey, but are capons smaller? The size of a big chicken? I don't know if I could fit in 2 roasting pans along with all of the other "oven items" I'm making.
