Many years ago I was a supervisor and one of the guys in my department
was an older black guy. Every day his wife would pack his lunch but he
preferred to go across the street to the bar and drink his lunch. Every
morning he brought me the brown bag and said "my wife made this for
you". One day it would be a bone in chicken thigh sandwich, another day
a bone in pork chop sandwich. It was fantastic food.

Not sure how she cooked stuff but it was never dry, always tasty and
tender. Never any greens.

Next time, try getting the attributions right. That would be just swell.

I'm not a big fan of chicken breast but it works great when cut up into cubes, marinated, and fried at high temperature. It cooks in about a minute. I make lemongrass chicken this way. It's coated with cornstarch and sugar which blackens while keeping the chicken moist and tender. It's intense.

No greens was the saving grace. We grow various leafy greens, lots of
swiss chard this year but eat it raw, chopped with salad dressing...
it's like raw spinach.

most likely, especially considering i hardly ever
eat it and instead often prefer legs and thighs over
the rest. that works out ok for us because Mom likes
the white meat.

i'm not a big chicken eater anyways. many years ago
i was having frequent digestion problems from certain
foods and mass market commercial chicken was the major
one of them. once i stopped eating a lot of it that
cleared up about 95% of the issues i was having (it
could even be a higher percentage but i've stopped
counting).

as an example, the other day Mom brought home a
rotessierie chicken from the store. it wasn't cooked
enough, so i ended up taking the dark meat and
cooking it completely to make sure all the microbes
were actually dead. i then could eat it and it didn't
make me sick, but i'm glad i didn't throw it away or
eat it when it wasn't cooked enough. that was a bit
too pink for me.

Almost all of the dangerous microbes are on the surfaces of
the chicken--internal and external surfaces. That's not to say
that pink chicken meat is perfectly safe, nor that it isn't icky.
Raw egg white is even more safe, but also icky.

*****************
They did make the dressing, and Winter teased Ian about how
persnickety he was about getting every bit of the egg white off
of the yolks. She'd never had homemade Caesar dressing before,
and she had asked for it partly because it seemed bratty, and
because Caesar dressing was never quite fishy enough.
------------------------
Breakfast was nice. There was more orange juice, coffee, and Ian
asked her how she liked her eggs, and how many. "Three and over
easy, wait, over medium. I know you freak on jizzy egg whites."
Ian laughed and said, "The things that come out of your mouth."
"You love my mouth."
Ian agreed, "I love your mouth."

Kinda pointed that at the wrong person.

Gary likes some fast food but he also cooks (generally what he mentions
is simple but decent). You are acting like he only eats fast food.
Conversely it seems to be once a month (if that) for him and fast food.

There's some Tavern/Pub he likes and he probably eats there more than
once a month but VB pubs probably aren't like yours. Here it's a given
they will have a Keto, A Vegan, a Vegetarian and some other healthy
selections. Probaby some less healthy ones too but I wouldn't assume
he's not having bowl of local she-crab cream soup with a side garden
salad.

He posted a link to one place he likes and the online menu wasn't bad
at all.

Sasebo had one with an awesome Wasabi dip. McDonalds in other places

Oh, I thought it once a month at most. Less then. Either way, even if
once a month, that's hardly horrible.

He's just whining.

Gary's the big defender of fast food. Don't criticise it or he'll call
you a snob. "Fast food is great!" And then he rarely eats it. Maybe
it's not that wonderful after all. Or maybe, knowing Gary, it's too
expensive.

Was it cooked bone in then meat removed for the sandwich?

A chicken or pork chop sandwich that contained the bone
would be an odd sandwich, imo.

Bone in. You just ate around it. Damned good eating too. I have no
idea if that was typical of soul food or just the way she slapped a hunk
of meat between bread as a holder. This was in the late 1960s.

Sounds to me like she was just too lazy to remove the bone.

Animal Muscle Tissue generally inserts to Bones!

But Lab Grown meat from muscle stem cells do not! It is All Meat! No bone or fat, gristle, etc.

You'd be amazed to find out a LOT of people dearly love to gnaw and
suck on the bones, especially pork chops.

This might date back to times when man and dog were still the same
creature and hadn't diversified yet.

Count me among them. Pork chops and beef T-Bone/Porterhouse are
favorites. Something you never see anymore, at least in these parts, is
bone-in sirloin steaks. Those had great bones for gnawing.

It's different than when your mom burnt food. For one thing, it's entirely
on purpose, not accidental. My burnt food doesn't taste like burnt food,
beats me why it doesn't. When your mom burnt food, it tasted awful. My food
tastes awesome.

They're pieces of tortured factory chicken with urine stains hidden
with bleach (in the US). The pieces are coated and deepfried.
Sometimes they make strange sounds when you bite into them. Other
times you bite into them and your teeth bounce back.

It's going to an absolutely thrilling day whenever Google can be accessed
in Scotland. I just hope OhFeelMe is still around to be able to access it to
answer her endless questions of what something is or how whatever is
cooked.

Whenever Scotland comes out of the Dark Ages I think we should all join
in a hearty shout of HALLELUJAH!!!

No doubt! She takes dsi1's and Bruce's opinions as Gospel. I am pretty
darn sure Google and many other search engines are available in
Scotland. She manages to access Usenet. "Please describe Chicken
McNuggets" is akin to the many times she asked for explanations about
"corned beef" around Saint Patrick's Day. Sheesh, lady, look it up
yourself and then if you have questions ask them. It's not new, it's
not difficult.

I haven't seen a new thread about food or cooking from Ophelia in ages.
I wonder what she's been cooking for "Himeself"?

I'm more hoping that the US is coming out of the dark ages today and
is joining the civilised world again.

According to some academics (as reported in the NYT) the term "Dark
Ages" is offensive.
Perhaps "Penumbral Period" could be substituted:-)

I like gnawing on a bone too but not inbetween 2 slices of
bread with maybe some mayo. No wonder the "older black guy"
gave Ed his lunch sandwiches.
It's odd and definitely not "soul food."

A much better version would be to pull off some meat to
make a sandwich, then put the meaty bone in a separate
baggie to gnaw on.

you must remember that "back in the day" they didn't
have baggies. Grandma sent the kids to school with
their sandwiches wrapped in newspaper and tied with
string and woe to the kid that did not bring the string
back home...

My mom always used waxed paper but no string and we got a paper
bag to tote our lunch to school in.

We had brown lunch bags in the 50s. We were more likely to take our
lunch in a lunch box.

Well, I'm not that old. Back in my day, sandwiches
were wrapped in wax paper. And put in paper bags
or in lunch boxes.
