It has been one week since my last confession.
------------------
I love dark meat.
No, CHICKEN. You guys are messed up.
But, seriously, don't do a google image search for "dark meat" unless your filters are definitely ON. WOW.
Anyway, chicken.
Yes, yes, the boneless skinless chicken breast is some sort of holy grail for health food nuts and dieters alike. Low in fat and calories, but high in protein, it's the best of all world.
Except flavor.
It's...bland. Yes, this can fixed by hiding it, but wrapping it in a coat of many flavors.
I know this is all personal preference, and for those of you who love it, more power to you. But, I like my meat gamier, fatter, darker. Cooking chicken thighs is easier. They are far more forgiving, and it takes way longer for them to dry out. They're cheaper.
It's like I lucked in to some terrible joy, as if I enjoy riding "bitch" on road trips (for those of you who didn't grow up where I did, that means the middle seat, with no leg room, a sketchy seat belt, and no window control).
I only offer it as a confession because people seem so surprised that dark meat is my preference. Then again, I love the heel pieces of bread.
I <3 heels, too! More to the chew!
ReplyDeleteAlso don't google "chocolate" unless you want alternative ways to use it!
ReplyDeleteYou're right, people do look down on you for liking dark meat. It's OK though, because then you get all the dark while everyone else fights over the white.
ReplyDeleteTo answer your question (this posting back and forth thing is good but I'm sure people are confused- haha) I'm inbetween books right now, and taking suggestions. I read somewhere, either on a recent post or somewhere else where I was stalking you, that you took 6 books on your honeymoon and bought 10 more while you were there! Crazy, girl. But yeah, I often stay up way too late reading.
Ooh me too, I also love the heel of the bread! I've also heard people say that dark meat is better b/c it's tastier. So there have to be people out there who agree with you :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd I love occasionally submitting to the whim of my trainer. I did that today too, and it was fun to get totally beasted!
I agree with you on both. Yum!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a kid during holiday meals I would sit over the bird picking out the dark pieces before anyone else got to them. hehe
ReplyDeleteI don't even know what part of a bird which color of meat comes from. But I know my favorite part of a KFC bucket comes in the shape of a bowling pin.
ReplyDeleteTotally with you on the heel of the bread.
