The whole chickens we got were plucked, but not as cleanly as the ones in the supermarkets now. My mom always had to do some plucking of missed feathers and used a match to burn off the tiny pin feathers.
But my mom was raised on a farm, so she wasn't bothered by that or the stuff in the butcher's case...goat's heads with the eyeballs in them, huge beef tongues, shiny pink brains, honeycombed sheets of tripe, slabs of deep red liver, and beef hearts, etc. I, on the other hand, really disliked all that "gore" in the meat case.
Fortunately, my dad was not really into that sort of stuff (even though his own grandfather was a traveling butcher in Italy and my dad, as a kid, sometimes rode on the donkey cart with his grandfather to the outlying farms), so beef liver, sometimes tripe in a spaghetti sauce, and chicken livers were the only gross stuff in our meals besides the usual pork or lamb chops, ground beef, roasts, and so on. I still cannot...and will not...eat anything from inside an animal. I don't eat veal or lamb either, and not even beef anymore though I'm not a total vegetarian.
