(this post from guest hostess Madge):

Joe likes his chicken soup to be made from fresh. But honestly, it takes a long time. We have to drive out to Uncle Henry’s farm, and Joe always complains about having to cut the head off the chicken. Every time, he says he’d rather stay at home and choke the chicken, which I don’t get, since we don’t have chickens.

Then I have to gut and pluck the chicken and then after everything else I have to do, that doesn’t leave much time for hoovering, koffee klatches with the gals, and those darn (excuse my French!) PTA meetings!

Midge usually makes soup from a packet.  I’d never heard of that, but Midge is a modern gal.

Midge says that some of them, like Lipton’s (despite their excellent tea) aren’t very good, but she likes some from Jamaica, which I believe is somewhere in the country of Africa.

This is Midge’s favorite.

I made some for Joe, but he said he didn’t much care for the taste of Cock.

I would like to serve it both at my next dinner party, but no housewife wants to give her guests too much soup.  My fear is that if they eat too much Cock, they won’t be ready for the rump roast.
