A late friend of ours was a WWII vet. He and a few others spent months trapped by Japs on an island. They pretty much existed on “parrot”. To his dying day, he wouldn’t touch chicken.

Neither.

I was chilling a nice Tavel Rose'
It subtly compliments both the foul
and see-food aspects of the dish.

Cthuluhu ate all the chickens? Harris Teeter had a great price on chicken thighs the other day, but I decided to get the half-price ham instead. Then the next day, I got another ham in the mail. Cthuluhu’s fault, I’m sure.

Nonetheless, I am programmed to send her a correct thank-you note on my good paper with my name on it.
(But seriously, we’ll eat both hams, too.)

I think I found the problem:

It’s getting to be time for me to eat, too. I see my coffee cup is empty.

Empty coffee cup: a plot by Jake to make the hyoomanss weak and easily manipulated.

Texas imports relatively little food from outside the immediate contiguous states. Texas is probably the most self sufficient state in terms of food production.
That used to be CA, but they killed off their farmland in the name of the Delta Smelt fish.

This is just wrong, there are twice as many chicken thighs as there are chicken breasts. If you know anything about economics and supply and demand, the more available thighs should cost half as much as the less available breasts. But they are all the same price per pound. This is obvious price-fixing and there should be congressional hearings. The price if chicken is probably more important to most voters today than Benghazi anyway.

I went through a somewhat similar experience one year, albeit not with the dangers associated with your friend's experience. I am originally from Silicon Valley, and about the middle nineties we were going through yet another major recession and I had been out of work for roughly four months. One of the major grocery chains had a sale on frozen chicken (drumsticks, I think) and coincidentally also had their in-house 'English Muffins' brand on sale for 69 cents for a bag of eight. I bought several bags of each and for the next few weeks tried to exist on only that and water as I had little choice. The bread product was not so bad since I could toast it and change the taste a bit. After a while, however, just the bloody smell of the chicken cooking was more than enough and I could only tolerate the toasted bread to eat.
To this day, the only way I can consume chicken is heavily coated with BBQ sauce, a frozen dinner with lots of spices (and tabasco sauce as necessary), or with quite a lot of salt, pepper, and perhaps some powdered garlic.
As I said, not quite the same but yes I quite understand.
