Ribosomes pull the mRNA strand through itself one codon at a time. As the strand moves, the start codon and its complementary tRNA molecule shift into the 2nd site inside the large subunit. This shift leaves the 1st site empty, which exposes the next mRNA codon.

city chicken

A food native to Pittsburgh/Western Pennsylvania in which cubes of pork and/or veal are put on a short, wooden skewer, breaded, then baked and/or fried.

I've heard that city chicken originated during the Great Depression, when folks didn't have enough money to buy full cuts of meat, so they assembled meat scraps on a wooden skewer, creating a make-shift drumstick. Hence the name.

Are yinz havin' city chicken for dinner?
