Last week, I answered a much discussed question about how to get a non-committal guy to commit. We had a few comments from readers, but, to be honest, nothing really set off the googling frenzy quite the way the suggestion from Etiquettely Correct about Engagement Chicken.
Obviously, we hadn't heard of this phenomenon (otherwise, I would have saved a lot of breath and not gone into my theories of trickery and cunning wiles that I so went on and on about last week) that Glamour Magazine started back in '04. If you haven't been under a rock like us, here goes:
According to legend, women who prepare this chicken are nearly immediately (within one month) met with engagement and, tons of Commitment. According to one recipient it "was the kind of meal a wife would make" The recipe was printed in January of '04 and supposedly, by June of '05, 21 women had been proposed to because of the chicken. I'm assuming those women for whom the chicken didn't work simply don't come forward, so I don't know what the rate of conversion is for chicken service into Rock distribution/wedding vows. But, it seems to work and it's probably better than all that running around I had you doing.... I'm not afraid to admit when I'm crazy sounding. Besides, by all accounts, at the very least, it produces a very moist and tasty bird, so you have a nice meal together.
Then again, if it were me, from the moment he tasted the chicken, I would start acting all weird and be like "How are you feeling?" "Do I seem different to you?" The next day: "Didn't you love that chicken?" Then the next 3 weeks would be like a bad sitcom episode where I keep waiting for the "Surprise" and getting all excited and watery eyed every time he puts his hand in his pocket.....
My question is, can you messenger these things? Like if you wanted immediate results right now, could this be sent to someone as a lunch, let's say.....Or maybe in a care package overseas? Or maybe part of the whole things is the experience of serving the one you love a hot, roasty meal :-)
