How About Those "Rotisserie Chickens"?

[goldensmom]

Golden, it's the other way round. It's beef cattle that keep their calves and raise them to weaning. Heifers and bull calves alike are kept because both will make beef. In dairy herds, heifer calves are kept (often raised on milk replacer) while bull calves are sold very young, often even at birth.

I've been in the dairy and beef business my whole life. Thanks, it's about time I got set straight.

This thread is quite enlightening. Since I am now a vegan I do see things differently than I used to, but I believe we all would be against animal abuse. I think it is often a question of getting informed. I sort of knew some of the bad things about factory farming, but since spending the last 2 years really looking at the story, I am simply apalled that we allow these conditions to exist.

Some farms are so much better than others, i agree with that.

Yeah, and if I had it to do over, I'da named the thread "How About THEM Rotisserie Chickens", instead of "those". It is grammatically incorrect, but nonetheless, a better fit with the subject matter.

okay-----i got ta thinkin'---Hey--it's been awhile since we had a discussion about "rotisserie chicken", like what you find in a kiosk near the exit at Wallmarts. but, any new thoughts on ro-chick?

Those $4.99 3 lb rotisserie chickens from Sam's Club and Costco are wonderful. The roughly $7.00 smaller ones from Walmart or Kroger, not so much.

okay-----well i just came up with a VERY brilliant idea, where vendors of ro-chicks could sell "Ro-Chick On-A-Stick". see---you'd have the cooked chick impaled on a stick, and you kids could just eat it like a popsicle, and not get your hands greasy. maybe some entrepeneurial genius could get a little food truck, and drive around selling ro-chick on-a-stick, right out in the street. maybe start a franchise system called: "Ohioidahowa Ro-Chick" yup. doesnt that sound like a pretty good idea?

I think whole chickens are a bit large for this idea, but perhaps Cornish game hens instead?

okay----RR, thanks for the suggestion. but see---them cornish rock fi8ghting hens are just too TOUGH to put on a stick---you'd break the stickk, i'm afraid. so anyway---another alternative under active consideration is too have gient-sized chicken nuggets on a stickk. yup. deep fried in yummy batter. these should be tried out in our drive-n-eat test market, which is geographically defined as " ohidahowa." yup. but yeah---drive-n-eat. it's the american thing ta do, for something to "do". ha.

They have recently opened 2 new fried chicken restaurants in my town, Dave's Hot Chicken and Chick N More. There are plans to open two more in the near future, a Popeye's and a Raising Cane's. So apparently there is an almost infinite demand for fried chicken, and you may have yourself a winning idea there.

okay----this thing about "Dave's Hot Chicken" made me think of a building located by the highway off-ramp by the lirrary-in-the-lumberyard at the south part of town. but yeah---for a few years, the building was home to a place called "Famous Dave's" which was a BBQ place. Then it closed, and became "Hot Cluckers" for a year or two. Then that closed. so anyway-[--it is something else, now. thast saiud---if a person has a genuinelt stoopid idea for a useless business enabling consumers to drive-n-eat, there seems to be PLENTY of money available to set up shop. yup. but yeah--"Dave" Anderson(Famous Dave) is reported to be an award-winning minority businessman. yup. there's another store in the branson area, as well. BTW--i almost never go to branson. nope.
