Do you mean an allergy, a religious tradition, what?

More religious traditions than anything else. I know many observing Buddhists can't eat cow, Jews and Muslims avoid pig, and I know there are other odd restrictions for other faiths too.

Of all people who eat meat in all the towns in all the world, she had to walk into mine!
Hungry Joe, it's Hindus who single out cows as a dietary taboo. Buddhists practice general vegetarianism, or don't (especially lay Buddhists).

Haha, I thought of the exact same thing Rott.
Look, you can't make me speak in a logical, coherent, intelligent bananna.

Sorry, running a fever. Getting my subcontinental facts mixed up. I recently refered to Shavima as a Bangledeshi name.

I eat meat and and I can't stand chicken.
Seriously, it's horrible.
With cannon shot and gun blast smash the alien. With laser beam and searing plasma scatter the alien to the stars.
I hear chicken tastes like rabbit. I haven't yet caught a rabbit despite the fact a warren of the critters moved into my neighborhood about 5-6 years ago.
Oh My
Yeah most of us Buddhist laymen don't practice general vegetarianism. I myself in particular do not. I'm not going whole hog into this Eightfold Path yet. If I was I'd join a Wat. I'll just be an honorable layman for this life so...meat...you're fair game. The Bhikkhu at the Wat I visit don't refuse food with meat. They do not eat in front of temple goers, but I assume they eat the meat. They can't really just throw it away from what I know.
^The taste is vaguely similar in my experience. I think rabbit tastes better though. It lacks the chikenyness of chicken.

If someone wants to accuse us of eating coconut shells, then that's their business. We know what we're doing. - Achaan Chah
Are you looking for a group that only abstains from chicken? I know of a few groups who don't eat any meat but I can't think of one that singles out chickens.

LET'S SEE YOU MAKE BHIKKHUNI INTO A PUN, DOGGY. Seriously. If you can find a way I will be very impressed with your word play skill.

Happy New Year!
Yeah as a religion Buddhism is fairly laid back. It is a truism that it's hard to distinguish a devout Buddhist from your typical stoned slacker at first glance (and still fairly hard at the second and third).

...is there any that cannot eat chicken?
