Pullet Surprise

 What's a pullet surprise you might wonder, it could be a prize for people who engage in writing as a way to keep their brain functioning or if taken literally instead of the way it sounds it may be something surprising relating to chickens. Today it is about the difference between chicken tenders, chicken fingers, chicken strips and chicken nuggets. Who knew there was a difference other than the establishment serving them? A tender is cut from the bottom of a chicken breast as the name indicates the most tender part, where both strips and fingers are cut from the rest of the breast. Next up is the nugget and no it wasn't invented by McDonald's. The nugget was the creation of a Cornell food scientist in the 1960s who was looking to make chicken easier to fix and enable the use aged out laying hens as food so he made chicken sticks which were much like fish sticks in appearance, he then sent his recipe out to poultry companies which eventually led to the invention of the nugget.
