We call 'em "Bachelor's handbags" here in Australia.
In high school my one friend had a big trench coat, and we would use it to sneak rotisserie chickens into the movie theater.
I can't think of a less pleasant food to eat in a cinema. So greasy.
Popcorn is covered in grease. Grease is satiating.
I'm down for some trenchcoat chicken
I've worked at several theaters in my life, always amazed by what gets snuck into theaters, ive even seen big family buckets of KFC
Were you one of the cool ones? One time I went in with my small backpack bursting with Taco Bell. The door guy asked to check my bag, took a peek, looked at me disappointingly, then shrugged and let me in anyway haha
Oh yeah fer sure, I probably woulda said just dont make a mess
I never understood people who left garbage in cinemas. I rarely go to the cinema, compared to the theatre.
Yeah, that pisses me off to no end. If you were able to carry it in, you should be more than able to carry out to a trash can.
What the actual fuck? 😂
Imagine like four or five of us sitting in the front row of a crowded theater, chowing down on rotisserie chickens with our bare hands.
In retrospect I feel so bad for the people sitting near us 😂
Were yall also loud and rambunctious also? Cause otherwise it wasnt so bad for most of the people near you, save for maybe a vegetarian whos senistive to meat smells.
Not particularly, but I imagine it was just weird as hell haha
Why rotisserie chickens?
Cheaper than a large popcorn at the theater 😂
As a active teen and even into my 20s I could eat two medium all-dressed pizzas, I'd fold them in half to eat them faster, then go biking for a few hours, then shit out a Douglas fir that evening.
A two-pizza night once a week was pretty common before I got my driver's licence. I used to ride a BMX everywhere, inc to work each day, maybe 30km a day in commutes.
But I'd eat like a crocodile. Huge meal once or twice a week, then almost nothing the rest of the days.
Ok....what's an all dressed pizza? I've had the fries.
AI Overview An all-dressed pizza (or toute garnie) in Canada—specifically in Quebec and Montreal—is a traditional pie topped with tomato sauce, mild pork pepperoni, sliced green peppers, fresh mushrooms, and mozzarella cheese.
I suppose it's a historical holdover name.
So, a deluxe pizza in Ontario, or it is sometimes called a supreme.
Do you layer the pizza with chips?
In my belly, yes.
At the Whole Foods, cracking open a hot one with the boys.
Living like kings.
The one time in history a bunch of 15yr olds bag a bunch of chicks and it really happened.
One of them should try the costco chickens.
When I was fifteen, I could totally eat an entire rotisserie chicken in a single sitting. I was also gaining height by inches at a time.
Not seeing the issue here. Sounds pretty wholesome to me actually! A bunch of boys hanging out. Unknowing to the horrors that adulthood brings. Soon high school will end. Soon college will start. Some of your friends will drift away. Some you won't even notice until you realize one day it's been a while since you hung out with that one guy. The one you're not best friends with, but sometimes he'd be around. Except he hasn't been around for months, and you're just now noticing. Other friends you notice right away are gone. They get accepted into a college on the other side of the country. You claim you'll keep in touch, but lets be real. You're both going to be super busy with college. You'll drift away from one of your best friends over the next few years. It's neither of your faults really. That's just how life is. You spent your whole life with this guy since you were 5 years old, and now as you transition into adulthood you become strangers. Then one day you wake up, and realize you haven't seen any of those friends in 20 years. All you do is work six days a week, and run errands on the 7th so you have enough supplies to handle the upcoming week. Now even the burnt out face in the mirror looks like a stranger.
But at least they'll have the wholesome memories of being in a costco as teens and eating chicken together. Before it all fell apart.
this hurt to read. i hate how well it captures that feeling. why the hell is adulthood like this? we grind people into paste and don’t even realise how much we have lost of what they could have been. sigh.

Teen boys are eating machines. I remember when my kids were teens and a bunch of boys came to the house. It was like a plague of locusts. They pretty much emptied the fridge. I still fondly recall pulling out a pickle jar they had eaten all of the pickles out of, leaving just the brine.

Well, eating one chicken does count as eating a whole food.
Shit man one upon a time those chicken's were like $5 a pop. Cheapest and fastest way of getting a ton of protein in by far. Now not so much. The last time I bought one I think it was double that in price. This is why we can't have nice things. Companies gotta get greedy.
While I don't disagree on companies (having always been) getting greedy, getting a whole cooked chicken for 5 bucks is only possible through industrial factory farming of livestock with horrible animal cruelty. Try raising, slaughtering, plucking, gutting and cooking a chicken for that average price without basically creating a torture concentration camp for chicken.
I wonder if we'll ever be able to solve the animal cruelty problem through brute force technology. For example, genetically engineer chickens so they simply never grow a brain. Raise the brainless bodies hooked up to an intravenous feeding system. Could cram more of them in a smaller space that way too. Can't be cruel to a thing that isn't conscious in the first place. Sort of a poor man's lab-grown-meat approach.
Amusingly, most people would probably find this a lot more horrifying than factory farms, even though objectively the animals would experience absolutely no suffering whatsoever, as they wouldn't even have the minds to comprehend anything about themselves or their environment.
As someone who has backyard chickens and has tried raising meat chickens, they are pretty close with the current ones. Regular egg laying chickens don't have a lot going on upstairs but you can still see them finding (relatively) creative ways to scavenge food and stay safe. Meat chickens just stand there. They can barely move or react to anything. One step above catatonic. They were treated well and given good living situations, but I had to put them out of their misery because they would overeat and had leg problems. It was spooky and sad at the same time.
Honestly I am a bigger fan of vegetarian (vegan) meat supplements. I don't mind if chemistry gets involved as long as supervision is adequate. In the end, livestock is just a biological "factory" that turns vegetables/grains/grass into tasty meat. No reason that can't be done without the detour via the living being.
Not everyone's cup of tea but I was always a huge meat lover and for ~15 years I have committed to only eat meat when I really really want to & focus on quality then. And those times have become less and less, and I can absolutely live with the veggie options.
But I think food chemistry can go a long way and potentially produce artificial meat as well.
Hell yeah, get me some Chicken Little
Scum-skimming wasn't hard to learn. You got up at dawn. You gulped a breakfast sliced not long ago from Chicken Little and washed it down with Coffiest. You put on your coveralls and took the cargo net up to your tier. In blazing noon from sunrise to sunset you walked your acres of shallow tanks crusted with algae. If you walked slowly, every thirty seconds or so you spotted a patch at maturity, bursting with yummy carbohydrates. You skimmed the patch with your skimmer and slung it down the well, where it would be baled, or processed into glucose to feed Chicken Little, who would be sliced and packed to feed people from Baffinland to Little America.

You can each have one rotisserie chicken, as a treat.
You will never know the hunger of a 15 year old boy unless you were one
