Pickles by Brian Crane for January 13, 2025

If the chicken isn’t dead, it’s poultry in motion.

Opal’s pot stirring has resulted in circular reasoning

Like cow meat is beef.

Next time you go buy a package of chicken legs, find one of the younger grocery workers and ask if the package is the front legs or the back legs.

That sounds like something I would say (in the 4th panel).

Nelson now ask Opal what came first : The Chicken or The Egg ;-)

As clear as poultry!

Neither Opal nor Earl are the sharpest knives in the drawer.

I’ve never heard anyone say that chicken is not meat. Fish is the debatable one. I think of fish as meat, but many people say that it isn’t meat.

But do you want to eat fowl meat?

Opal cooking in her bunny slippers!

Sounds like my wife.

I always thought that “poultry” was a synonym for ‘fowl’, not for ‘meat’.

Fish have bones and bleed, but it’s not meat but seafood?

What happened to GOOGLE..???

Animal flesh is meat, bird flesh is poultry… profiling most fowl!!

Total fail: Makes no sense and is not amusing.

Just curious: will Nelson come back and FISH for more answers??

Opal should know that Nelson is just a kid and , according to his understanding at that age, meat is just meat no matter if it’s chicken, beef, or any species. Why get technical with a six or seven year old.

Chicken is poultry, but is poultry chicken?

So, according to Opal, chicken = poultry, and poultry = chicken meat, but chicken does not = chicken meat. I never learned that in algebra.
