Brace yourself for...CHICKEN WING SHORTAGE...

[feralkid]

Canned stock suck.

Absolutely it does.

I'm lucky around here, you can just buy eggs at the side of the road at honesty stalls. They are just from people that keep a few chickens on their land. Cheaper than from the shop and they absolutely taste better than large scale production eggs.

Is it coin operated? You drop a one Pound coin in the can and the chickens start pooping out the eggs?

Around here, eggs in the store run from $1.29 to $1.99/dozen. (regular, non-hippie free-range organic eggs)

Eggs from local farmers/ranchers average around $4.00/dozen.

I didn't say it was better...I said it was EASIER.

May as well eat Campbell soup then.

There's something comical about people who find eating plants is okay but eating something just because it moves is against the moral code.

Just because you don't see it moving doesn't mean it isn't something that is... Well.. alive.

I can only guess it comes from those with weak minds that can't wrap their heads around plants being alive - simply because they can't see emotions and crying faces and thus are limited to only what their eyes perceive.

Haaaaaaahahahaahahaha ... this is even dumber than usual. Thanks for the laughs VI... You keep being you.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahaahahahaha

Oh .. and I have no illusions, if it came down to it, i'd eat you before starving (and that weblooker dude).. though I'd probably pack you up as chicken before serving you to the rest of the fam.

Its usually just a jam jar that you open and leave your money in and just take however many eggs you paid for from the pile.
Coin operated chickens sounds better though!

About the only soup my wife can make me eat is Progresso...and it's likely to have more crushed up saltine crackers in it than soup.

These aren't really from farmers they are just people who have a few chicken on their land for their own needs but end up with some surplus.

I bought some the other day for £1.75 for a dozen but I have to be honest and say that I'm not sure what a dozen in the supermarket costs!

You guys dont want to hear this, but lets return to this thread in 20 years.
Talking about eating meat of an animal that was bred in captivity for the sole purpose of being food for a human being will be as culturally unacceptable as homophobia is today... there will still be a few bigots around but the vast majority of us will understand why its bad.

*DONT KILL THE MESSENGER*

See you in 20.

A chickens' ancestor was probably the more terrifying and prolific predator on the planet ever and likely ate any damn thing it wanted to eat.

I haven't noticed anything about wings yet. We regularly buy those large tray-sized packages of legs, thighs and breasts -- used for various purposes but the dark meat goes into the deep fryer. One learns to live with vegetable-oil re-use and disposal. I have a "Southern" fried chicken recipe for a seasoning mix and a procedure for dredging in the mix, the flour, some egg and then flour again. It requires adding some bombero sauce (or Del Taco Inferno sauce) to the beaten egg. I'm proud of my fried chicken, because it hadn't been my forte until the last six months.

We'd buy fried chicken pieces at the grocery deli on a regular basis. For one particular store, their offering was very good. Sometimes you want Colonel Sanders. Honey-mustard sauce is a 'must". When I have to, I make my own with dollops of French's and some tablespoons from the honey jar.

:How about Mandarin Orange Chicken to serve with your sticky white rice? You can either make your own nuggets and oven fry them -- breading with the egg and flour (but little seasoning), or you can buy a bag of Tysons Chicken Nuggets. For the sauce, you mix some Orange Marmalade, some Sweet Baby Rays standard barbecue sauce, Soy Sauce and some Sesame Oil. Heat it in the microwave; add the chicken pieces from the oven; get out your chop-sticks and pig out.

God Help America when you can't get chicken for a reasonable price -- even if it's just "parts-is-parts". God Save Us. That leaves the questions: "Are brown eggs really better? Or are free-range eggs better?"

Hmm, I like where your going with that sauce recipe..

yea yea, you all cute, we'll see, we'll see

This one scared the hell out of me when I was little.

I live in a little sub division in the middle of 2 1/2 and 5 acre minimum plot land. There's probably 6 places 1/2 mile from me where I can buy fresh chicken eggs. They all start at $3 a doz.

Honesty boxes are just the best. I get a lot of my food from them when things are seasonal.

As long as chicken thighs don't get scarce I'm good.

That would look pretty good skewered and roasting over a lava pit. Wilma and Betty would do one hell of a job on that sucker.

I've just started grooving on thighs about a month ago, what was I thinking by passing these over for so long?. Both white and dark meat and tons of flavor.

On the downside of chicken wing shortage. More chickens are going to end up dead.

Everybody needs to eat more boneless "wings" instead!

Y'all muthafuckas can have my portion. For me, wings are throwaway parts of a chicken...just like the back.

Wings really are very tasty. The back is tasty too if you can avoid the vertebrae. (Which is hard. )

 

[trenchfoot]

Hey, where's the folks sticking up for those tasty organs what's found in those birds?

Another thing, what's with how chicken pieces have become half the size they used to be? I can remember ordering a wing with thigh meat from Church's that was a whole meal onto itself.

And what's with the Colonel advertising this huge bucket overflowing with chicken and insinuating that that's what you'll get if you order a bucket from them? How do they get away with false advertising like that?

I like chicken heart and gizzards. Too much work to prep though.

 

[zinfamous]

Youse guys are weird...is you being poor?

It's way easier to buy a can or carton of chicken stock or soup in the grocery store.

My MiL was one of you though...the Thanksgiving turkey carcass went from
(a) Roast turkey,
(b) Turkey leftovers,
(c) Turkey sandwiches,
(d) Turkey salad sammiches
(e) Turkey ala King,
(f) Turkey soup.
By the time she was done, there wasn't a tiny scrap of meat wasted.

that's garbage stock. You're throwing money away just to make inferior food when you use boxed stock.

I'm sure a lot of it is because animals obviously feel, plants is still debatable.

What I don't get are the people who are anti-meat but have no problem with seafood. "I'm against eating animals, pass the salmon and shrimp."

Everyone draws their own lines, it's pretty arbitrary.
I eat meat but I probably wouldn't choose to eat dog or cat.
I know people who will eat veal but not horse.
I suppose seafood is a fairly easy line to draw. And some people just don't like meat from a texture/taste pov but enjoy seafood.
