Fried Chicken

Oh boy. I'm hungry for some fried chicken. You know that I know the granddaughter of the founder of Popeye's? Yes indeedy. SHe gets a card everymonth that's good for more fried chicken than one person could ever eat. Oh, it's good stuff. Can I tell you what I think is a funny story? My wife, @stinawog is a vegetarian. We went to popeyes. "Oh, I'll just get sides". So she asks, "The beans, do they have meat in them?" "...they're beans." "but do they have meat in them? I don't eat meat" "It's just beans. No meat." "Okay, I'll get the beans."

She gets the beans. There's ham in them.

"These have meat in them. I'd like to return them."
(calling over her shoulder) "She says the ham is meat!" (manager rolls her eyes) "give her the money back."

In what world is ham not meat? I mean, I get having meat in the beans, and maybe even being exasperated at a vegetarian. I don't agree with it, and @stinawog was entirely polite and just asking the questions she needed answers to to know if she could eat something.

But ham is always meat.
