conulyWhat I learned: The recipe says that color is more important than time, but I'm no good at that. Stick to a timer - raw fried chicken is not fun :(
Also: Nobody seems to know how many times to dredge the stuff.
Still, the later pieces of fried chicken were quite nummy!

Which as the year suggests, was referring to the American presence in the Philippines, but what of that, eh? (“New-caught”? The Brits had caught all theirs decades before. This clod is simply ignorant, prating what he's heard from someone else who didn't bother either.)
[“‘Today on the Western Front,’ the German sociologist Max Weber wrote in September 1917” - wrote where? “Fear and hatred of armed ‘niggers’ (as Weber called them)” - does this clod think the author of „Deutschlands äußere und Preußens innere Politik” usw, wrote in English?
Swallow whole, as directed.]
The screwy thing is, absent his agenda the guy does have something of a point. Speaking of Kipling, he could have mentioned “A Sahibs' War,” where proud, fierce Sikhs who did not Correctly regard themselves as victims of “racist imperialism” were puzzled and saddened by their exclusion from the Boer War - which was indeed a conflict between white men, as was World War I, at first… (And that was stupid, because they were tough as shoe leather and would have kicked ass. The Ghurkas also.)
But the British themselves were puzzled and saddened (and infuriated!) by the 1857 Indian Mutiny, which directly caused many of the fatheaded, repressive attitudes this ulloo speaks of. Prior to that, the two nations were moving towards a fascinating cultural fusion, and indeed a hefty percentage of Indians fought for Britain during that Mutiny! (Did you know shampoo (champu) comes from India? Brought back to England and made popular right after the War of 1812…)
