Once upon a time; bars in upstate New York used to offer ‘city chicken’ on their menus. It was always my belief that the meat source in this product used to go ‘coo, coo’ instead of ‘cluck, cluck’...
Wow my Mom (RIP) used to cook those up for us back the 50s.

“City chicken” in Pittsburgh is pork. On a stick.
City chicken was a recipe for a way to cook veal to make it taste like chicken. It was invented during the Great Depression because that idiot FDR so screwed up the economy that veal was cheaper than chicken, and some people missed eating chicken.
