TRANSCRIPTION
A waitress is holding a steaming pile of food on a tray, while Everett sits at a dining table, a frown on his face. Waitress: We didn't have any spring chicken, Mr. True, so I brought some boneless canned- Everett punches the tray out of her hands, throwing the contents up onto the ceiling, knocking his chair and table askew in the process. Everett: Take it away!! TAKE IT AWAY!!!! Do you think I'm a scavenger? None of it for me! I read the papers, I do!!!
Was there something more wrong with canned chicken back in the day? Besides the obvious poor taste?
1906 is the same year The Jungle was published, a story that sparked interest in the quality of the meat industry in America. If your meat was more processed, the worse it would be. Boneless canned chicken is probably just a bunch of meat scraped off the parts nobody wanted to eat, maybe even a few pars from other animals, or humans if there was an accident that day.
Ok his reaction seems justified now
