RE: [tips] Would you use a hen or a rooster for cock soup?
For fried or grilled chicken a young rooster is just fine, but an old rooster needs to be stewed. One of our three has taken to attacking me now and then. He is brewing for a stewing.

I'm not a prude, but this conversation about cocks and dicks has little to do with teaching psychology, and would be more appropriate for middle-school students.

Re: [tips] Would you use a hen or a rooster for cock soup?
Sounds like a potential project to examine people's views about foods consumed and what they think the benefits are? Magical thinking (law of similarity?) abounds!! Of course, we must consult the food babe to know what to fear---probably some strange sounding stuff is in that soup lol. - Original Message - From: Carol DeVolder devoldercar...@gmail.com To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) tips@fsulist.frostburg.edu Sent: Saturday, April 25, 2015 11:49:59 AM Subject: [tips] Would you use a hen or a rooster for cock soup?
