Under extreme duress, my employer has already done the math. It appears on my pay stub under taxes deducted.
As a result, my diet is on the verge of becoming nothing but "Illinois Whitefish."
CNW 6000So what you're saying is the state of IL specializes in taking garbage and packaging it as something valuable then...good marketing + gullible populus = you can do that math.

CNW 6000Victrola1 Did the White House chef run the galley on the President's private railroad car, or did Eleanor fry the carp? Are you calling the White House chef a carp? I thought they only got carp near Chicago.

Be it mob mongering or fish mongering, marketing is the key. It is not what it is. It is what you convince people it is. Before the campaign plane, fish offal as fact was served off the platform at the rear of a campaign train. The game remains the same.
Concerning Carp and Chicago, you must never call them carp. Please, please, please, call them "Illinois Whitefish." Commercial fisherman on the Illinois River learned this decades ago. It was most profitable.
Put in a tray with cellophane wrap and revised labeling, urbane, urban sophisticates in Chicago bought Illinois Whitefish. They loved its flesh and learned to deal with its hard tissue integrity. They would never eat a plain carp.
Cook County "statesmen" have achieved national prominence by doing the same.
Eleanor would understand. So would Franklin.
Oh the stories that must've come from that group. If the walleyes could talk I'm sure there wouldn't be any crappie stories about all the trips down the pikes.

That is nothing to really carp about. The porpoise of the question is whether Eleanor fried the fish herself. I think they had the company of the Chef on-board the private car to cater to the First Family. With all due respect, they had enough Haddocks with the economy floundering.
And when they had guests along with them, I am sure Eleanor wanted to Trout something new. Quite sure also those dinners were the bass those guests ever had because Eleanor could show them a whale of a time.
I bass stop all this seahorsing around before you all go into a state of Shark.
Thanks to Pinkard & Bowden for their inspiration.
Eleanor Roosevelt cooked a darn good hot dog as well:

When Winston told Franklin the Royal Navy served rum to its seamen, Franklin responded, "We've got cold beer for our boys."
Would Eleanor serve carp to her troops?

Eleanor Roosevelt doesn't care if there are horns or no horns used at grade crossings.
Just as long as there are trains!!!!!!!!
Politics was a good way for Franklin to get out of returning home every night. Had he lacked the necessary skills, perhaps attaining the rank of Engineer, or Conductor would have provided Franklin's profession of escape.

It's a known fact that Eleanor Roosevelt had town named after her. What's weird is it is located just a couple (2) of miles from the (supposedly) UFO landing in 1965 (Kecksburg). The name of the town BTW is Norvelt, Pa. Just another little piece of trivia for here. I'm sure she would have approved the landing. There is still standing a tressle bridge used by streetcars in the heyday of said lightrail transportation just outside of Norvelt.
