Chicken soup

Is there really research out there on what gender Americans associate with chicken soup? This is funny (both funny-haha and funny-interesting and only slightly funny-weird) to me. I guess, from the standpoint of viewing culture as a verb, we would need to delve into whatever subset of American culture in which this is "true" (major air quotes there) and determine why that is so, and how it came to be that way.

    Yeah; I thought that all the chickens we eat commercially are hens, so they're all female!

    Thanks for summarizing everything so succinctly, and making the connections to other readings in other classes that I've already forgotten about!
