Chicken poll!
- Thread starter Metalhead
- Start date
There I was, lying in bed, staring at the ceiling, when a great, tremedous need over came me and a voice shouted "Go answer Metalheads Chicken Poll!" I thought I was having a clucken nightmare. But the voice said it again. But with more urgency, "GO ANSWER METALHEADS CHICKEN POLL!!"
I was being hen pecked about it.
The answer is that chickens only have a little actual meat and it is in the legs and thighs. The rest is just the carcasse of a poultry porn star. We do not eat porn stars.
(Actualy we do, but the line was too funny to delete!)
If a chicken had thighs as big as their breasts, that is a chicken I could admire! And dine on for days!

@Forest Cat, there are many options besides fried. Stewed, roasted, grilled,cooked on a spit and even "broasted" which is a kind of braising done in a pressure cooker.
My favorite chicken recipe is chicken and dumplings. Basically it is chicken stewed with potatoes, carrots, celery and onions in a creamy gravy seasoned with sage and tyme. The "dumpings" are a like bread cooked on the top of the stew.

You need to experience chicken from the hands of a skilled cook. Notice I say "cook" and not chef. Chicken is humble and homey and deserves to be respected by being prepared as comfort food.I know it sounds silly, not eating chicken, but I think I developed a chicken aversion when I was a kid. Because of a bad smell incident.I just need some more courage first to break through the chicken smell barrier.
But honestly, it's just bird. Love it or hate it, it doesn't matter!
It is fowl-tasting...!

I eat chicken quite a bit. Beef, chicken, and fish/seafood are the meats I eat the most often with pork in the middle as I do like sausages and bacon but I’m not eating an enormous amount of it on a weekly basis. I like turkey and duck as well. Never had goose hough.
I especially enjoy making and grilling Seekh Kebabs, minced chicken with spices, onion and peppers. My spouse will make the baba ghanoush to go with it. (added) I got the kebabs wrong. They're Kafta, sorry. The pita bread I'll buy.

I enjoy the Brave Combo Chicken Dance. At any of their concerts it is like a mosh pit. One of the few times I will tolerate crowds and have fun attending one of their concerts. They are like the ultimate wedding band.(Such fowl language!
)

For a …while… lol, chicken was all I would eat, as far as dinner meat. I eat other meats and beans as well now.

Chicken meat is great for so many reasons including its versatility. Virtually all of the chicken can be used in cooking save for its entrails, head and feathers. Some people will even use the first two. Not only is the meat edible, but the carcass and bones make amazing broth that is as beneficial as the meat itself for cooking.
Chickens are fascinating and hardy omnivores as well. They're also living biofeedback machines if you've ever been around them. Meaning, they prompt a person to be calm around them. If a person is agitated chickens become agitated. If a person is calm and relaxed, the chickens are calm and relaxed. I raise chickens every year and walking among them to care for them is similar to doing tai chi or something: Slow, fluid movements, calm voice.

With reflux issues I'm just grateful that I can eat things like "Chicken Crispy Strips" without incident. Though I also can eat and love sliced rotisserie chicken as a cold-cut I use in sandwiches with Miracle Whip and lettuce as well.
Love chicken salad sandwiches, but canned chicken has too much grease/oil that remains a "no-no" to me. Figure I have a 50-50 chance of reflux going that route.
Otherwise most forms of chicken will uh.....make me quite ill. So I avoid them entirely.

I voted that I do not eat meat, however I do have an opinion about it.
I am a Category 5 vegan.
I have a extreme phobia to eating meat, especially chicken.
This all due to a string of incidences in my life. As a child I grew up with a small flock of chickens. Literally, they were my best friends. I had no human friends, but the chickens understood and loved me. One day, my father came out and without a word grabbed one (Francis) and promptly killed her. Then another (Charlotte). I was profoundly mortified (understatement) - still to this day. I witnessed my best friends, my loyal and loving companions brutally murdered right before my eyes.
Several years later, I developed three autoimmune diseases. Typically, these diseases are rarely survivable. What saved me was the timing. They stated after I was well established as an electronics design engineer. Instinctively, I employed engineering methods to dealing with the diseases. First I studied every book I could find in the public and university libraries. I wanted to understand the biological mechanism of action of these diseases. I learned that diet plays a role. Simultaneously, I started a detailed log of everything I ate. To find out the effects of each food, I went on a mono diet. I ate only one item for a week or however long it took to realize an effect. With all the logging I found that meat - any meat made my symptoms typically catastrophic. In this effort, I became vegan before I realized what vegan was. Fast forward three decades and staying relentlessly vegan has made me completely non-symptomatic to any of the diseases. On top of that, now, at 69 years old, I am healthier, stronger, and have more stamina than I did in my 20's.
So, please, no meat for me, thank you.

I eat way more chicken and way more beef than I probably should 
Because my friend raises bird dogs, and I have one too, and they are actual hunting dogs… well, let’s just say I’ve eaten a lot of other “fowl” things. Lol
But yes, I love chicken. I try so hard to eat healthy but then I see an ad for chicken from KFC or Jersey Mike’s or Wendy’s… can’t resist the temptation lol.
Which is why my weight keeps going up, not down
