Now Mother says "YouVe right" 1 WRWSwJjimP (Report No. 12) By Daughter who managed the fried chicken Mother had always Y e cut the chicken she got was as tender in several pieces (no- frieJ chicken in but ter. I heard that Cottolene would fry chicken tender and sweet, and asked her to try it. After some coaxing' (because Mother thinks her own cooking ways are best) she agreed to fry half a chicken in butter and half in Cottolene. Chicken, to suit us, must be tender and nicely browned. ting on a slip of paper which parts were to be fried in Cottolene). In the midst of it a girl neighbor came in to take mother to the movies. She was in terested in watching our experiment. The butter-fried and Cottolene-fried chicken were served on one plat ter. After tasting, Mother said the piece Cottolene as butter. "Tender as if fried in butter," I corrected, "because that nice, tender piece was fried in Cottolene." And Mother was thus shown that wholesome Cottolene fries chicken deliciously tender.
