@mattchew03: They're probably talking about boneless, skinless breasts which are usually pretty flavorless. It used to be a novelty meat cut for stir-frys and then the price tripled as it became the health conscious protein choice. I saw the price had dropped from $6.99 a pound to $2.99 when I was at the grocery store last weekend and I thought it was some kind of low-grade dodgy chicken being sold. Guess not...
@Ken Green: Thank you! Every time a friend suggests we go get some wings and beer, I'm always thinking that chicken strips sound so much easier/cleaner and are just as tasty.
@nozer: It's all just a vehicle for the sauce to me. That and the blue cheese dressing. Sweet, sweet blue cheese. (Don't even try to bring me that trash-ass ranch crap instead!)
@tigolbitties: Don't worry, I'm one of those too. The flats are too much effing work. What's the point of even selling them? You know no one wants them.
We met a nice butcher yesterday. He told us that we could buy chicken breasts for about half the price down the aisle with all the other packaged meat, and that the ones in the display case come from the same shipment as the ones all packaged up. Tonight, SHNITZEL!
Bah. Chicken breasts are still kicking ass if done the right way. Wings? Too much fucking work sometimes. And, yes, I have thought too much about this.
All I know is living basics (soap, toothpaste, COFFEE, toilet paper) are shrinking in packaging and growing in price. Stickin' it to the poors until the bitter end.
If the dollar is devalued anymore, the cost of TP will be overvalued and...well, you know the rest, and there won't be any newspapers anymore to substitute.
