Disappearing foodways.

Huh, I never knew what "broasted" meant. I may or may not have ever had any fresh...did Kenny Roger's Roasters do that? There was one in State College when I was there, well, it was north on atherton in the sprawl. I never like any of that chicken, KFC original recipe was so much better. Broasted was just meant a "dried up roasted" to me.

I have never been one for eating out, other than pizza and hoagies, and I never found the same quality or variety away from home.

When I first started working in the oil fields in Crane Texas I would get up around 5 in the morning and get home around 8 or so.
All the stores were closed by then.
I worked 7 days a week and only got off for Christmas and Thanksgiving weekend.
No paid holidays and no double time for working a holiday.
My main meal of the day was lunch so I would get the chicken and sometimes take the leftovers home to my apartment.
Then the other mens wives found out about me and I would give them money to buy my groceries.
They never would accept anything in return.
I would come home and everything was put up that needed to be put up.
Another gal my age that was the daughter of the richest people in town would clean house for me and do my laundry.
I would pay her.
We also went out several times and we hung out a lot.
Her family came from a very wealthy family of ranchers in central Texas where my family came from.
She was as pretty as any girl could be but mean as a rattlesnake.
Her older brother hired a lot of our female friends to drive dump trucks for his construction well pad company including her.
She was tiny too.
When I got married my wife was flabbergasted that we were really good friends.
Why didn't yo marry her she would ask.
She's too mean and she uses her family name to stay out of trouble.
That family ran that town.
The girl hit a cop with his own flashlight and didn't get in trouble.
I didn't need any of that.
My wife's family was also really well off too.
Huge 4000 square foot house with a big swimming pool in the back.
People thought I married her for the money but I never took one dime from them.
They tried to buy me and I wouldn't bite and it ticked them off big time.
Well anyway I'm reliving my past and sharing with y'all.

Tried to buy you to stay away from their daughter? Like that ever works.

I remember you saying you looked like a hippy back then, but just didn't act like one.

Growing up on the table there was what seemed to be an endless supply of rutabagas cooked prunes turnips and various greens.
Also freshly caught fish including bass pan fish catfish and so on.
Rabbit squirrel venison chicken pork and beef.
We raised our on meat rabbits as well.
Naturally I didn't list everything.

Armadillo - Please, just DON'T go there.

Chipmunk poppers an old family favorite.

I KNEW that I shouldn't have gone there. I couldn't find chipmunk poppers, but did find squirrel poppers.

Then scrolled some more and came across Dr Popper (Sandra Lee). DO NOT GO THERE!

@Tormato
No after I got married they tried to take control of my life.
We didn't have a normal wedding we eloped.
It's a long story fit for another day and thread.

The "broasted" lingo is part of a franchise that builds the pressure cookers, and sells the broasted way. Anyone buying in, must use the broasted label in advertising, must follow all of the rules the company sets out, even must use the exact seasonings directly from the company.

Sounds exactly like Kentucky fried chicken in it beginning.
It was in regular restaurants and if they ticked the Colonel off he would come in and get his equipment.
I think I remember as a kid seeing Kentucky fried chicken sign up at a restaurants.

And here's a fun filled fact I found.

In the 1960s, John Wayne Gacy purchased some KFC franchises; abused some of his workers around this time and would start his murder spree later.[28]

Knowledge disappears when we rely too much on the Internet.

I saw this today:

"Direct sunlight is also the enemy when it comes to preventing crystallization. So rather than leaving it out on the counter, you should store honey in a cool, dry place like a cabinet or pantry. "

That is 100% false. The exact opposite is true. You can set crystallized honey in the sun, and it reverses the crystallization. That is if it is real honey. It doesn't work with the fake stuff from the grocery store.

I have real honey I bought from the grocery store.
It's from Texas up north of me.
It went crystal on me but was fixed with a little heat.
Stays on the counter.
