On the topic of the History of Chicken Salad; I did a bit of searching for Town Meats in Wakefield, Rhode Island. It yielded a few results, most promising of which was http://www.diningquest.com/?page=client&id=414 - no results hinted at their having had invented Chicken Salad. I took it upon myself to call the business in question. The owner/operator verified that Town Meats had originally started as a meat market during the 1830's, and that they had converted to a deli which still stands on the very same spot. The gentleman did nothing to otherwise confirm or deny their having invented Chicken Salad, but otherwise I would say the statement lends itself certain credibility. - 3:46 AM 8/7/2006 User:wtfunkymonkey

The claim about inventing chicken salad is quite outrageous, as it is a simple preparation of chicken with mayonnaise or mustard and has most likely existed since the first sandwiches are made. I have removed the advertisement from the article and it should stay removed until a credible reference can be cited. ZG 19:54, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
