My Mother called them "Rock hens"- short for the original Rock Cornish, I think.
I'll never forget the Thanksgiving where she first served them up-every single one of us got OUR VERY OWN bird. And there were ten people in the family!
That experience remains the height of luxury/excess to me.
And I can't forget a good friend hosting her first dinner party and buying 2 Cornish hens for 4 adults. She and I still giggle about it almost 30 years later.
Another vote for Cornish or Rock Cornish hens. you can probably find them in the frozen meat dept. of your local supermarket.
They grill nice and fast when the backbone is cut out which can easily be done w/ dollar store scissors.
