Still no word on which came first, apparently...
Skevos did well when he decided to stew that old bird up.
Plus, they could always sell a chicken for cash money as the need arose.
When I was quite young I bought a bantum rooster and his brown hen from a gypsy in the community. He could fight like nobody's business.
Just don’t try pan frying old roosters.
My father’s father used to lock all his animals in the barn when they heard the gypsies were in the area in MN. My dad remembers the commotion when he was a little boy. The animals would disappear if they weren’t locked up. (At least, that is what my father said). It was during the Great Depression and Dad said no one stole or went hungry out on the farms. Then, he amended the statement-—and said there was stealing, but only if the gypsies were traveling through.
Stereotypes exist for a reason. Gypsies didn’t believe in private property rights.
Tastes like chicken.
its whats for dinner. I remember back to when I got to go and catch a chicken and place it in the funnel....then bleed it out and pluck it with grandma. Yummy! Then it was off the fetch some squirrels and maybe some dove and it wasnt long before we had dinner. Rabbit was excellent when grandma deep fried it as well. Something about lard and butter that made everything she made, better.
With the arrival of WWII most Roma in America went to California and other West Coast locations to do light metal work ~ mostly in the aircraft industry.
They've subsequently lost their 'culture'. Nothing like regular, steady employment to put an end to life on the road.
There's an entirely different group ~ the Travelers ~ who are not Roma. They are not ethnically the same, but a handful of Roma did enter UK at about the same time the Enclosure laws were putting tens of thousands of Irish and Scottish tenant farmers on the road.
Those Roma quickly expanded their reach into UK society and pocketbooks by "hiring on" native Irish and Scottish people.
Those are the folks your father feared in Minnesota.
Lard makes anything better.
Thanks!
Interesting article.

Sure they did. It is just they only believed in Gypsy property rights.
It is a rather common view point.
