This year I sent a request to Whole Foods HQ asking why they will not sell capon. It’s been a couple of weeks and I’ve heard nothing. My local butchers are normally very good, know I’m a local and treat me well. It is not their fault that HQ will not sell capon. I know they won’t get into specifics of letting these potential roosters grow three extra weeks, if you get my meaning. I just want them to tell me that.

I have looked, just yesterday, and D’Argagnan does not have capon this year, or at least now. But they may be raised for holiday time which means they may not be ready yet. I’ll check. Dee

Congratulations! I’ve no luck and am thinking of marinating Cornish game hens and perhaps even grilling because it threatens to be warm (low 50′s) and sunny. My husband still wants steak! Happy Thanksgiving, Dee

Hello, I live in Maryland and found a frozen Capon at Giant Foods. That is where I purchase one after calling Whole Foods, thinking they would have them but did not. Also there is a website : Dartagnan.com where you can purchase a fresh capon. I am cooking one for Thanksgiving and wish you luck in finding yours. Happy Holiday

Hi Margaret, I’m sure you’ll have a much better chance of finding one in NYC than I will in Utah! Good luck. Zabars, any of the high end groceries. My brother lives on the upper West side and couldn’t find mincemeat to bring to Christmas at my Dad’s last year so I had to order it online and have it shipped. In all of NYC, there was no Crosse & Blackwell’s or Nonesuch to be had, and he was told to go to New Jersey. I talked to the lamb guy at the Farmers’ Market this past weekend and he gave me a potential source so I’ll check it out. Dee

I thought for sure Whole Foods would have a capon, I was heading there this weekend to pick one up. I am so disappointed as I am only cooking for two also and really don’t want a big turkey, thinking a capon would be perfect, so glad I read your post. If you live in NYC and find a place to purchase one, leave a post.

Thanks, Val. Wapsie’s the site but I don’t recognize any of the stores, out here at least.

Margie got a Mac, large monitor, already has a trackball mouse for Joe and just installed a wireless keyboard (basically, she has my setup) so…

if she brings her laptop to Nanny’s for Thanksgiving we can have a video conference and all we’ll miss is hugs and turkey! Dee
