> there was a tariff on German trucks that was called the chicken tax. “Its roots are in a trade dispute between the U.S. and Germany in the early 1960s, initially focused on frozen chicken parts. The dispute was dubbed the Chicken Wars, and it’s the topic of a short film by NPR’s Planet Money team.”

There’s a quote (that I can’t find) from the German Chancellor after the Cuban missile crisis: “I spent a lot of time on the phone to the President of the United States that year. Mostly about chickens.”

I had a friend who became a Macadamia producer. It’s a cut-throat business.
