An Englishman's Misfortune
In 1779, after her husband was killed in the American War of Independence,
innkeeper Betsy Flanagan opened an inn near Yorktown that was frequented by
American and French soldiers.
An English chicken farmer lived nearby prompting Betsy to promise her American
and French customers that she would serve them a meal of roast chicken.
Her guests mocked her boasts saying she would never go through with it.
One evening, an unusual number of officers gathered at her inn, so Betsy served
a lavish meal of chicken, stolen from her English neighbour.
When the meal was over, Betsy moved her guests to the bar, where she served
up drinks decorated with a tail-feather from the chickens, amid rowdy calls
for more "cock tails."
