What the hell? (Inflaton related)

Went to the bakery today.

They make a pizza there that many people don't like, but I like it, and the people who DO like it, REALLY like it. They cut the slices off a sheet, and the slices are very small. you could wolf down one slice in 3 bites.

Anyway...3 pieces of city chicken, 3 small slices of pizza, 2 black and white cookies.

With tax, $44 even.

My eyes glazed over as I handed the woman my credit card. I know it was rung up correctly, because I watched her ring it up.

It was lunch for two, take out.

There's still a nice piece of city chicken left over, but Jesus...

1. 😱😱😱

Ouch!

2. The slices are maybe...

4" x 4", or 4.5' x 4.5". I know they just use American cheese, so it's just dough, tomato sauce, and American cheese. No toppings. I like it because I grew up with it. They used to serve it at high school football games for something like $0.35/slice.

Most of the cost was in the city chicken, which I can understand, but holy cow...this is just a bakery that people go to when they want something quickly to wolf down in their car or at home.

3. "city chicken"

There's your problem right there.

You're eatin' that highfalutin', liberal city chicken, when you should be eatin' salt-of-the-earth, god-fearin' rural chicken.

I bet you washed it down with an espresso, too!

5. Here in Munich

Chicken, whole can cost between 10 euro at the cheapest places and up to 23 euro for some really fancy organic ones. About 3 pounds each. The cheap ones are a little lighter and the primo a bit heavier. I'm buying the 15 to 17 euro ones. They taste and cook better.

I feel your pain.

6. never heard of city chicken

looked it up, sounds good. does your version come breaded and/or with gravy? what kind of gravy?

[MerryBlooms]

7. Better be country, extra pepper, and that's all I got to say about that.lol

[Kali]

10. That sound best to me

But I could see brown gravy too. I can't get over never hearing about this before!

[LuckyCharms]

8. No gravy, Kali...

Breaded, on a wooden stick.

Sometimes all pork, sometimes pork and veal together.

Usually bought as a "fast" food, but also suitable for a sit-down meal.

9. Breaded fried pork on a stick

Why hasn't this been in my life?

11. I think it's a Polish recipe?

Maybe it's regional in the US?
