ORIGIN

The expression “pope’s nose” appears to have been coined in Britain as a result of anti-Catholic feeling after the reign of James II (1685-88).

It was well in place by 1796, when Grose’s Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue defined it as “the rump of a turkey.” The expression “parson’s nose” appears to have arisen as a response, directed at the Protestant clergy.

THE NUTRITIOUS NOSE!

A recent study released by the Nutrition And Dietary Studies Of America has found that the pygostyle — the little heart-shaped flap covering the chicken’s posterior, where the feathers of the tail gather — is a nutritional powerhouse — a great source of protein with a high concentration of iron and calcium.
