What the hell are chicken fries?
Mrs. Chili: There’s some good some-of-thoses, though. I still remember the first time I ate sardines with my dad. 🙂
Cheryl: What are you talking about? These are “homestyle,” presh. These are campfires and catching lightning bugs and shit.
Chicken fries are chicken nuggets shaped like French fries. Best I can tell, the term “chicken fries” didn’t appear until about 1995, and I don’t know how long something has to be around before you can call it “homestyle,” but I do know it’s way longer than 13 years.
And mustn’t there be a bit of heart-tugging longing for something to be “homestyle”? I mean, I like chicken nuggets as much as the next guy, but would even the best chicken nugget you ever had in your life be “homestyle”?
What about getting a chicken, cutting it into pieces, and I dunno, maybe frying them?
I don’t trust pre-fab meats/veggies/fruits.
“chicken pattie fritters”
“chicken pattie fritters”
“chicken pattie fritters” (repeat ad nauseum, won’t take long, I’ll warrant)
is that even a food?
“HOMESTYLE?”
I was thinking that my beloved grandmother probably had a style, at home, of making “chicken fries” aka “chicken pattie fritters.” She’d get up real early and wring the necks of a couple of chickens, chop their head off with an axe, pluck ’em, gut ’em, get some lard to deep fry them in after rolling them in a batter of corn, chemicals, sugar and such, slice ’em up to look like french fries, and start the sizzlin’.
“HOMESTYLE” did any person on earth ever make this crap at home?
I’m losing my mind over here.
Sorry, but my childhood did not include chicken fries. I’m suing my parents.
