Chicken is a fowl. Dead chicken is meat.

She’s been hanging around her husband for too long.

Love old timers!

Naw … aftershave or maybe a nice tie. Hee Hee Hee Hee Ha

I had the same conversation with a friend of mine…

Technically, chicken IS meat

From miriam webster on-line:meat noun \ˈmēt\: the flesh of an animal used as food

Opal and Earl help Nelson develop his own mind.(Someone should have one that works.)

Gallina ( mit der feathers) is eating bugs in your yard. Pollo (plucked, cleaned & cooked) is in your taco.

My husband does that all the time. To him meat is beef or pork and chicken is just chicken.

It’s usually Earl giving the kid a line of bull….or chicken, in this case.

Just wait until we get to the colours…red meat, the other red meats, white meat and the other white meats.

Usually, the names of the dead meat come from the French, while the living animal’s name comes from Alnglo Saxon.

pcolli: Except for beaver, amisk is of Cree origin.

Is Platypus meat?..Somebody’s head is going to explode..

Wait ’til she tells him tomatoes are berries.

This strip would have been more suited to run during Lent, which is associated with eight days of abstinence from eating meat. The church bulletins play these questions out for real. The most succinct explanation of which foods to avoid is “beast and fowl.” Seafood is exempt. For this Lent past, our archbishop declared alligator OK to eat, i.e. seafood. Turtle has always been considered seafood and is delicious in soup. However, many restaurants cannot obtain enough turtle meat to meet the demand for turtle soup, and often substitute veal. Whoops!

Clear as mud!
