YOUR CHICKEN RECIPE MAY BE A PRIZE WINNER
Cooks who think they have a humdinger of a chicken recipe have exactly one
month to beat the deadline of the Delmarva Chicken Cooking Contest.
The grand prize package includes a Caribbean vacation for two, $1,000 and a
selection of kitchen appliances and spices. Second and third place winners
will share prizes valued at more than $3,000.
The contest is open to residents of 12 eastern states - Virginia to Maine -
and the District of Columbia. Two finalists from each eligible state will be
chosen to participate in an expenses-paid weekend at the cook-off finals June
5-7 in Salisbury, Md.
Recipes must be original. Broiler-fryer chicken, whole or any combination
of parts, is the only required ingredient. Recipes should make four to eight
servings and total preparation time cannot exceed three hours. Judging will be
based on appeal, taste, appearance and ease of preparation.
Official contest entry forms, which spell out the rules, can be requested
by sending a self-addressed, stamped envelope to Delmarva Chicken Cooking
Contest, Delmarva Poultry Industry Inc., R.D. 2 Box 47, Georgetown, Del.

WELCOME TO A NEW YEAR If you're committed to a healthier, more nutritious
1992, then the Campbell Soup Co. would like to hear from you.
To celebrate the introduction of the company's Light 'n Tangy V8 vegetable
juice, Campbell is asking consumers to submit their nutritious new year's
resolutions. Resolutions can vary from the simple goal to "eat fewer desserts"
to the more ambitious "ride my bicycle to work every day." The first 365
people who respond to the request will receive a coupon that can be redeemed
for a free can of the vegetable juice.
Information from the write-in will be used to compile a list of ideas for
improving eating habits and lifestyles that will be released at a later date.
Correspondence should be addressed to V8 Resolutions, P.O. Box 964,
Bensalem, Pa. 19020.
