This 1945 Print Clipping Documents A Wartime Anecdote From The Marianas Involving Seabee Michael L. Koeber Of Cleveland, Ohio. Koeber, A Butcher By Trade, Argued That Navy-Issued Chickens Could Not Be Made Tender Without Being Parboiled. He Wagered Thirty Dollars That The Tough Meat Could Not Be Cooked To A Tender State. Navy Cooks Accepted The Bet And Instead Hung The Bird By One Leg And Exposed It To Live Steam For Forty Minutes Before Roasting. The Result Was A Tender Chicken Dinner That Proved Koeber Wrong, And He Paid His Wager. This Item Highlights Food Difficulties, Creative Cooking Methods, And Humor Shared Among Servicemen In The Pacific Theater During The Closing Year Of World War II.
