you’re a Plugger if you know that, the only time you’ll see “legs, thighs, and breasts” mentioned in a Plugger’s cartoon, is when they are speaking of fried chicken!!
Back in the middle 50’s restaurants around here offered half-fried chicken for 89 cents. It included an entire half of a chicken, fried along with french fries, two rolls and a small salad. Foe one dollar you could get an entire meal with a drink. Now that same rastaurant charges $7.90 for a chicken dinner that has a leg and thigh with sides. Nowhere close to a half of a chicken for 10 times as much. For some reason I could eat the whole half chicken with no problem back then. Now with just the leg and thigh, I can’t even finish all of the sides. Of course I was a lot more “active” back then.
Went to Costa Rica restaurant. They had fried chicken on buffet. I stood there trying to figure out if it was really chicken . Never saw chicken cut up that way.
I am so old, I can remember when fried chicken restaurants had a cut called “pully bones” (the white meat around the clavicle). When eaten, you made a wish and had someone pull the other side, hoping to get the larger piece. The alternative “wishbone” exists only in a salad dressing brand.

I’m old enough to remember eating “Kentucky Fried Chicken” (before they change the name to KFC) at a Harmon’s restaurant in Utah in the ’60s.
