Why are they called chicken tenders??

I have an AP stylebook, probably not a current one. I may have an education book from a college English course somewhere but I did well in that and don't think I had to take freshman English. I kept what I liked so any geology book I ever had is long gone! lol I think that was the lesser of several evils in choosing a science class.

So has JC seen that front page of the LA Times yet? I spotted ours right away, and Yankee Stadium... the Cubs, the St. Louis arch and the Brooklyn bridge. And something that looks like it's from the Teletubbies, the thing that calls them when it's time to come home.

I loved it. Too cool, baseball porn

Beach therapy. Cheaper and more effective than the alternative.

I had a nice photo to post but the ridiculous size limits make it too much effort.

I scale mine in Gimp

They're a part of the chicken. They are under the breast. Apparently, each chicken has two tenders. So, for example, if you eat four, that one meal came from 2 different chickens, presumably.

And imagine the number of people a day eating a multitude of chicken tenders... and then the number of chickens required to supply that demand per day. And then the number of chickens per week, month, and year.

Ok. Done.

Most likely Peg is referencing a cell phone image.

Is a chicken considered 'legal tender'?

Actually only partly right. I designed and sold equipment in the poultry industry for a few years. Unless it says "whole" on the package it's likely trimmings that have been ground and under heat and pressure extruded back into something that resembles a cut of meat.

Don't worry; I usually never trust what the meat industry tells me.

The only reason I care even one iota about baseball right now is because the first stop this train makes out of Grand Central is at Yankee Stadium. The last I checked, it was the top of the 8th and the Orioles were ahead 7-1. If a lot of those fans have given up and are headed home, my train ride might go from its current state of quiet and sedate to annoying AF.

So please let the Yankees at least score a few to make it interesting enough for fans to stick around for the 9th. Beyond that, I don't give a tiny rat's ass.

My Sister uses the meat from the breast of the chicken. The ones at work aren't nearly as good as she makes but I prefer them to biscuits and sausage. In some instances they aren't exactly tender.

BTW- The School of Rock was excellent fun, a ten on the fun scale. The kids were sooooo talented. If/when the musical arrives in your area ... go.

When I was involved in the industry the evolution of the extruded meat was still in it's infancy, but the ability to produce a structured product with the same characteristics (texture, etc.) was pretty amazing. Since the process included the bones as well, there was a lot of push back especially in the beef segment when "mad cow disease" hit the scene. Since then legislation has prevented the use of beef bones in the mix, but I'm not sure about poultry. There was a saying in the poultry segment that "They used everything but the cluck" on a bird. If it can't be sold for consumption it's sent to the rendering plant (along with the offal) to be converted into a protien supplement that is fed back to the birds.

Disgusting.

I worked on a wastewater permitting/sampling aspect of a rendering facility. Thankfully, at the time, I wasn’t hazwoper certified, so I couldn’t join my coworker in the field. He reported back that it was horrifying. The pond they sent their wastewater to had a foot or more solid, floating layer of let’s call it sludge.

 

[davidharmier60]

Hmm. Sludge. One of the things I did today was the drain in the milk cooler. The stuff in that drain was a lot like sludge. And you can not convince me it is actually a drain.
A chicken spaghetti dish my Sister makes was dinner tonight. The freezer plug situation will be cured by a 3 or 4 foot extension cord. And the store has Blue Bell two for $9 with a $10 purchase. My Sister says no problem. Ha ha.
