Another National Fried Chicken Day is upon us bringing thoughts of eating gamecock and other foods of the observance.
Yes, the notion of fried chicken has been engrained into my psyche from childhood and I remember crying when chickens were prepared from live birds to the frying pan only to have me devour them as though I never experienced any tears whatsoever.
I suppose that the citified boy which was the grandson of Ida Lou Whetstone Williamson simply was confused in the food chain principles which we still observe.
I wasn't a "baby" just "tender hearted".
National Fried Chicken Day goes down on July 6 each year and there is no information regarding how or when it actually began.
I suppose Colonel Sanders may have influenced it ... but that is mere speculation.
So get out there and grab your bird, dredge it in flour and seasoning and fry it up in observance of this, your National Fried Chicken Day.
Cheers !
