Poor Man’s Dinner
How most people ate — with a recipe I made recently
The other day I made something that many people might consider “poor people’s food”.
I took part of chicken that is considered scrap and turned it into a part of a lovely chicken soup.
It as the wings, of course. What I didn’t detail in my original story — I made not just a collagen rich broth, but I actually took all the meat off the bones as well, except for the knobby bits, and added this to the soup.
Since I’d kept everything in the crockpot for about 4 hours, the meat just fell off the bones.
That story is here:
Now, this probably resulted in a higher fat content than if I’d just used “boneless, skinless chicken breast”, but for those living in poverty — they need fat.
The way many poor people might consume this — they would separate the fat and use it to fry potatoes, say, or grease a pan or use it to top their bread. In India, they’d use it to moisten their chapatis.
