08/07/12-Yema Fol Don Bluff

Chicken is hard to come by here. I mean, they're everywhere but it's pricey for that kind of protein. Getting chicken is such a treat here. Chicken is so underrated in America.

Dear Chicken,
I apologize for all the times I ordered other proteins over you at restaurants. I am also sorry for complaining as a child and saying: "Aw man, chicken again?!?!". You are truly delicious and I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me.
Love,
Kristin

I have turned into a part-time vegetarian where the only time I eat meat is when chicken is offered. The rest of the time we get a protein medley of fish parts, goat, and bush meat mixed into a stew......I'll pass, no meat please. Getting chicken for lunch every now and then has been such a luxury. It's gotten to a point where some of the PCTs will go around and ask for other people's half chewed bones. Apparently, I'm not a pro when it comes to chicken bone chewing. Yes, we have all gotten so close where people are comfortable with eating half-eaten foods. Hey, tasty chicken is hard to come by so we have to take advantage when an opportunity presents itself.

I'm obsessed with chicken to a point where I stare at the fat fluffy chickens in the village and imagine how tasty they would be on my dinner table. My cousin, Joe, next door gets chicken every night.....that bastard!

Michael, mi site wef (my site wife), has the finest fol (chicken) in all of New York. I have to pass by his house everyday and see that fayn fayn fol. Auntie Janet, always greets me everyday and everyday I always tell her how fayn her fol looks and that I want her to invite me over for dinner "we i don kuk di fol fo chop" (when she cooks the chicken).

Michael named the chicken Yema Fol, b/c his sister, Yema, mended the chicken and made it into the fine chicken that it is today. Me and my cousin Joe always talk about "tiffing" (stealing) Yema Fol. Yema Fol is fucking ridiculous. Even it knows it's a badass chicken, it bluffs itself (bluffing is a Salone term for showing off like a badass). Yema Fol knows everyone in the village wants it. Whenever people pass by it starts fluffing its feathers and grooms itself. Like,

"Hey bitches, look at me, I'm so fucking fat and delicious. Look at my damn tasty legs. You know you want me......."

Yema Fol i don bluff insef bikos i sabi dat in na fayn fayn fol.

I love chicken.........
