In "The Jungle," when Sinclair speaks of "regular alchemists at Durham's," he's alluding to their ability to transform various ingredients into meat products. Later, Sinclair comments, "They advertised 'potted chicken,'--and it was reminiscent of the boardinghouse soup depicted in comic strips, where a chicken presumably walked through wearing rubber boots. It raises the possibility that they had a chemical process for producing chicken--who can tell?" This suggests that the advertised chicken likely does not resemble actual chicken at all.
