“chicken fat”

Posted on October 2, 2019 by purplepeninportland

Written for:  The Twiglets #146 – “chicken fat”

chicken skinny
or chicken fat?
Can’t use skinny
in chopped liver ap
-petizer.

 

Chicken Fat
cannot run
as fast as
Chicken Skinny,
but it hardly ever
comes up.

 

My grandmother kept
chicken fat in a can
for cooking. Her children
survived.

There was a woman who came to the States
from Russia hoping to meet her mate.
She married a lad,
two children they had.
Though they appealed, she cooked meals with chicken fat, for taste.

    Yep… we survived our parents cooking – some cooked better than others.
    Very versatile, most fats. Tallow is used for many things… perhaps some we’d rather not know XD.

    Entertaining and fun – all your verses 🙂
