On the way back from our fruitless fishing expedition, a strange thing happened. Somehow, we were discussing the behaviour of chickens, and I exposited on the cannibalistic nature of the birds. When my father was butchering chickens, he would chop the heads off. The surviving chickens would fight over the still gaping and blinking heads.
Lena was appalled at this description and said, "Russian chickens would never do that."
She was serious.
I tried to explain to her that chickens are chickens, no matter what country they lived in, but she was adamant.
Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe Russian chickens do have much more highly-developed mores.
