My chicken mentor, and DH's fishin' buddy is an older guy (somewhere around 90). He raised his family on fresh caught seafood, home raised meats and chickens, fresh milk,etc.
Funny thing is that his own daughter (who he now lives with) will not allow him to cook any type of seafood in her house, and when it comes to his chickens, she is totally grossed out by the thought of eating their eggs.
All his chickens are brown egg layers, so when we were laughing about it one day, I suggested that I could give him a dozen of my white eggs and he could put them in a Wal Mart egg carton, just for fun, to see if she would notice anything different. He said, "no, I need a place to live"
Then he told me that she will not even allow his fresh brown eggs in her fridge, nor will she allow any of his fresh caught fish or shrimp in it either.
Poor guy has to have a separate fridge in his shed, where he also keeps a fryer and a hot plate so he can cook his fresh foods.
W W WHAT?!?
Can't believe this girl made it to adulthood seeing as how she was raised on all this stuff. Makes me wish I could sneak the 'whites' into her fridge myself.
No wait, the best is yet to come:
Because this guy is older, most of the time he cannot get out here to the country by us where his chickens are, so we spend our time taking care of them, gave him a well pump for their water, provide the gas for his generator to pull water from the well, as well as our gas to run back and forth, not to mention store his boat at our house so that it is safe.......
She is convinced that we are just out to take from him anything we can get......
Go figure, people are crazy
