When I was younger, my grandmother in Alabama used to butcher and cook her own chickens that were allowed to roam about in the barnyard. The chicken was delicious but it was considered a delicacy only on special occasions would she cook chicken as beef, pork, rabbit and catfish was much more plentiful.

Then the big firms like Tyson moved in and started mass-producing chickens. Suddenly they took up most of the space at the supermarket and were cheap.

It is difficult for me to eat the breast meat of supermarket chicken as it's so bland and tasteless. Still plenty of flavor in the legs and thighs so I'll grab those and let the others fight over the breast.

#23 I cook my own chicken soup in a big pot and use Fosters chicken breasts. I add red peppers, green beans and celery and carrots and a little green onion and yellow onion and pepper and parsley. It usually is good but is missing something that Campbell’s has.

I use broth that says no msg on it as I get headaches and get real tired if I do. Campbell’s uses msg in their soups so when I started making my own it did not taste the same. I wonder if I throw in a chicken leg or thigh in the mix the flavor would be better.
