Chicken

Once upon a time there was a girl who lived in a vegan household.

Her parents were vegan activists who despised anyone who ate meat of any kind.

Each night at dinner they would tell their daughter about how bad meat tasted and how cruel the agriculture industry was when treating animals.

As the years go by, she started getting sick of eating the same old vegan products and wanted to experiment a bit but never had the guts to do anything.

One day, her friends invite her to go out for a day at the local shopping center.

They go around to window shop, having a great time.

Lunch time is coming and everyone is starving.

Her first friend goes up and orders a zinger box from KFC.

Her second friend orders chicken McNuggets from McDonalds.

Her third friend gets a Whopper burger from Burger King.

She, not wanting to really disappoint her parents, went and got a vegan salad for lunch.

As they were eating, all her friends were telling her how much they loved to eat chicken, sharing their various chicken meals with each other.

They kept on trying to get her to try some.

She eventually succumbed to peer pressure and tried one nugget.

The burst of flavor from the chicken rushes through her mouth.

"Why was it that only now she was discovering this realm of flavor?" she thought to herself.

It was love at first bite.

She wanted more.

She then tries a bite of her friend's Whopper burger.

It also blew her taste buds away.

This whole new avenue of flavors hitting her palate.

She was then handed one of the wings from her friend’s zinger box to try.

Even more flavors she had never tried before was hitting her tongue.

It was her night to cook dinner this week, so she decided she needed to get her parents to experience these flavors. not caring that it's not vegan.

Maybe, having a bit of meat to chew on, might make them a bit less grumpy.

She asks all her friends what the best way is to cook some chicken for dinner.

Her friends were delighted that she also loved chicken as they all did.

They took her to the library next to the shopping center and got some recipe books.

They showed her all these recipes.

Chicken parmigiana, chicken Kiev, chicken burgers, chicken kebabs, buffalo wings, nuggets, chicken Caesar salads, satay chicken and roast chicken.

She ended up choosing to make a Caesar salad since she has most of the ingredients back at home and could also sneak in some chicken without her parent realizing it's not a vegan meal

She just had to find the dressing and some chicken.

So, she goes back to the shops with her friends to get what she needed to cook dinner.

They all go to Walmart first.

They get the Caesar dressing there.

Next they go to the cold meats section.

They walk up and down the aisle but there’s no chicken left.

“Alright no drama, I’m sure there would be some at Target,” one of her friends says.

So, they buy the dressing and head to Target.

They walk to the cold meats section and walk up and down the aisle but there is also no chicken left there.

“It’s fine there should be some left at the butcher,” another friend says.

So, they go to the butcher.

They ask the butcher there if he has any chicken in stock.

“Sorry girls, we are out of chicken for the day,” the butcher responds.

“Ok I’m sure Aldi would have some chicken left, right?” the last friend says.

They all head to Aldi.

As they enter, they see the cold meats section.

There is so much chicken.

There's chicken breast, chicken thigh, chicken wings, chicken drumsticks, whole chickens, half chickens, roast chickens, minced chicken, sliced chicken, and chicken sausages.

Surprised the girl says out loud,

“Look at Aldi’s chickens!” #lamejoke
