Oct 18,1941: my grandpa took my grandma as his bride. America was just coming out of the Depression & soon would find itself thrown into WWII. Brave men (incl Grandpa) were drafted into the military, leaving their wives at home to tend to their homes & feed their children. Recipes were often written on scrap paper or index cards. One such recipe was City Chicken. At a time when chicken was not readily available cubes of pork, veal, or beef on skewers were used to crudely resemble a chicken drumstick. As the war ended the recipe stayed in the index card "cookbooks" of many a home & like so many mothers, Grandma continued to feed city chicken to her family & the recipe was passed down from mother to daughter. My own mother carried on the tradition & often served the dish to her family. A favorite meal in our house, it remains to this day the meal for which I most remember her. Today my wife continues to make city chicken as a regular meal & nobody ever complains or leaves leftovers.
