Remember Good Ole Cas? LOL. A local highly controversial politician/grocer in our area up till about the early to mid 1970’s or so. Rumor has circulated for decades that embalming fluid was put in the beef. You sure didn’t ever want to buy chicken from him. It looked good but as soon as it was put in the skillet the stench would run you out of the house. If you weren’t in the area then ask your neighbors :>}
Moved here in ‘86,
don’t recognize story but will ask around
