I don't know how it is at your supermarket, but at mine, not only do I get to crawl around at floor-level searching for canned cat food, I also have to recruit the aid of another shopper -- because I never have my reading glasses with me, and they print the labels so damn small that I don't know who they think has to read these things...
So, after all of that, I was left with the delicate task of pondering the true meaning of
"chicken and tuna"... The first step was to accept, on faith, that what I had been told, was an accurate reading of that which was actually printed on the label, but I digress...
But anyway...
Oh sure, it is probably easy enough to combine various amounts of chicken and tuna, and everything probably tastes just fine, until we hazard to ponder the combination...
This couldn't have come at a worse time...
Just when we thought we had recovered from a media frenzy about Jessica Simpson and her Chicken of the Sea dilemma, here it is, again, on the pet-food aisle... It reads, in plain english; "chicken and tuna"...
O.k., o.k., here's the story:
Back in 1914, when Chicken of the Sea was known by another name, they were the first to can 'light' tuna. So consumers would know to expect a mild-flavored white fish — tasting similar to chicken — the company began selling it under the name
Chicken of the Sea...
