Do I detect a note of sarcasm in your tone, Bucko?

In the 1950s Mom used to travel about 100 miles to a commercial cannery
to can whole chickens. It had to have been economically practical in
order for her to do that. For whatever reason, canning some chicken was
a better plan than freezing them -- probably didn't have a deep freeze.

Don't knock it; if you don't have much in the way of resources, you make
the best of life as you can with what you do have. I'm pretty sure she
never served them as 'roasted chicken' but likely used the meat for
creamed chicken on toast for a crowd.
