Dumbest Things People Have Said About Your Chickens/Eggs/Meat

[MsBagawkbagawk]

So, what's that white one? (Pointing to porcelain d'uccle) Just another kind of chicken?

Funny thing was, she didn't say anything about the nns running around the yard.....

It wasn't so much what was said as what was done.

I had a big potluck to go to so needed to take a substantial dish. I had butchered some cockerels and used the meat to make a new recipe I had been wanting to try for a chicken salad. I stuffed rolls with the chicken salad filling and took that as my dish to pass. I thought it will be easy for ppl to grab going through the line.

As I was standing in the crowd talking to ppl one of the women said to me OMG, this is the best chicken salad what all is in here. Like an idiot I start to rattle off the ingredients and follow with and I butchered the chickens myself. She turned green and SPIT out her mouthful of sandwich and walked away gagging. Her husband laughed and continued to eat his chicken salad but I was embarrassed. I've never had anyone spit my food out before , atleast not in front of me...lol.

edited to add::::
She said later the thought that I had killed the chickens was too much for her to handle. Now keep in mind we live in the country, we're not city folk. Also her father is a taxidermist and her husband an avid deer hunter. So associating animals with food should not be something new for her....

perhaps she thought the deer somehow appeared in the freezer by magic and the hides daddy tanned was hid in the craft area of walmart.... edited to say a neighbor of mine growing up had a magic freezer in their house the son and husband brought home game they killed and it magically disappeared to friends and families homes because even though the wife/mother grew up on a farm that butchered their own meat and had wild game served on a regular basis she would rarely cook it because she didn't care for it. (really wild rabbit and deer cooked correctly has very little "gameie taste" so I have know idea what was her problem.

i had the SAME thing happen at a pot luck dinner party, except i didn't butcher the pig... for the pork that was in my German Potato Salad...but it was my pig... not only did the lady spit it out, she tried to scrape the salad into the trash - another guest stopped her and scraped it on his plate instead... he told her there was no way he was going to allow her to waste such great food... at another of these same parties, i was short on cash... so i took a bag of frozen bean burritos that cost $1... lined them up in a casserole dish, covered them with cut up pieces of leftover chicken, salsa, sour cream and cheese and baked it up... figured at least i had something, these pot luck dinners were actually kind of fancy... the host came running to me and said "go get some of that mexican dish over there, it's FANTASTIC!" i just beamed and told her i made it, so it's ok if everyone else enjoys it... hurray for creative ingenuity!

so if it where regular potato salad and you raised the potatoes would she still spit it out I wonder????

What *did* she think you were going to do with them? <scratch, scratch>

who knows... she's a complete nut!

perhaps she thought i would "set them free"??

don't forget wild turkey too, i love game meat, as long as it's handled correctly from field to plate, it is so good, and has so much less fat... i love venison, and elk and buffalo...

so if it were regular potato salad and you raised the potatoes would she still spit it out I wonder????

My dad calls me the Chicken Tender. Not dumb, but I thought it was funny and clever!

I love it! This is Chicken Poetry!

Reminds me of when I started carrying mail. My daughter was around 7. When I first came home in my uniform my daughter said "Oh! A Post Officer!"

Sadly, I might have said some of these myself before I had chickens of my own!

Would you have said, "Y'know, we didn't think you would keep the chickens" or, "Ewwwwww. You're not going to eat those eggs, are you?"

I was getting all of my friends duck eggs until he released them out at the pond in one of his cow fields last week. He eats the chicken's, but not the duck's. He said he didnt think they where good, so he was throwing them out . I tried to tell him they are great for baking beccause they have more protien (thats why they are jelly-er. I've been using them in cakes.

I had a Swiss neighbor who had a goose just to have her eggs for baking. They're FABULOUS!
