How About Those "Rotisserie Chickens"?

[rodeosweetheart]

Thank you, Catherine, this is great. And really true. We live in another foodie area (not Portlandia) and I just don't want to hear all this stuff anymore. Someone in a Prius almost ran over me last week at our local organic food co-op and they wanted 13.77 a pound for walnuts.
I have raised chickens and all it did was turn me into a vegetarian. Not sure why more people who care about humane conditions for animals are not vegetarians?
Anyway, thank you for a laugh. Oh, and 3 weeks ago we were out at one of the "local' farms that sells their products there (my husband wanted an English shepherd puppy), and the place was in a woods, virtually no sunlight, and the animals were in these gross pens or in "tractors" so small-- 50 broilers in a turned over truck cab, really--and I thought, I raised my animals a whole lot better than that, ad these people are advertising themselves as all the things in the clip. If you looked at their web site, you would think you were in animal paradise.

Thanks, rodeosweetheart! Yes, my kids turned on this old episode of Portlandia while on vacation last week and I thought that it was so funny. Glad they had the clip on YouTube.

Yeah, it's a spoof that's not far from the truth at all! And I can be guilty as charged, which is why I, too, am almost all vegetarian--unless I'm going to visit my local poultry provider, "Chuck," and ensuring that my dinner had the best possible quality of life, playing happily out in "Chuck's" back yard with his/her little friends, until I eat her anyway.

That is so funny! that's in the first episode or two of Portlandia. It's goes on with that couple visiting the chicken farm and being snared into the lifestyle. But the restaurant scene is the best.

Portlandia is too silly, I'm not a big fan but it has its moments.

This is really funny: I was in the nearby Sooper Center last night, and just inside the door they had a cabinet that holds "St Louis-Style Chicken" for sale. Right by the exit, where you can just grab one. Basically, a variant on the "Rotisserie" chicken. Isn't that funny? I don't mean laughable--but peculiar. You don't? Oh, well.

What is St. Louis Style chicken? Is is BBQ? I really don't know, sincere question.

Well, Faux; "St Louis-Style" is probably referring to the kind that is right by the entrance/exit, where you can just grab one and GO! Nobody gets hurt-- they don't display them on rotisseries, probably because of liability and safety concerns. Someone could get stuck on those sharp rotisserie tines, I suppose.

If I take my camera, I will take a photo of the "St Louis-Style" chicken Cabinet, situated by the door at Wally-World.

Being a vegan I might be wrong about this but I believe they are like St. Louis style Barbeque ribs in that they are slow smoked and have the special St. Louis barbeque sauce on them (instead of the other many types of barbeque sauce). Sounds yummy - maybe I'll try to make some St. Louis Barbeque style tofu. Now that has disaster written all over it :-)!

LOL Spartana! It might not be too bad if you slice the extra firm real thin and fry it and then add the BBQ. DD knows all those tricks.......but I don't.......so you might not want to listen to my suggestion. haha

I am an idiot. every time I do this I regret it. I blame this thread.

I bought a rot chicken today. It is so salty, blech.
