eating a chicken leg? When I find it in my mouth it makes me YAK! First off, anyone else ever notice it, and did it bother you?
Sometimes when I'm eating a chicken leg I start thinking..hmm..
leg...this could be MY leg..and some other life form could be
casually munching my muscle meat off and recklessly discarding me without a proper burial. Then I feel queasy.. Is this normal?
I don't wanna be exclusively a mung bean muncher..but how come I have these chicken leg thoughts?
It's a little different with chicken breasts. I'd much rather eat breasts! You analysis please. I will pay you two points each..That's at least equivalent to what Lucy charges me, which is 5 cents.

I'm talkin' about that bloopy piece o' gristle attached to the skin...'bout halfway down the leg...no one else notices? Then it IS me..it's been haunting me for years..Whenever someone asks, "Who wants the Leg?" I always cry out.."I DON'T!"

I too am veeeeeery picky about the meat I eat. I was a vegetarian for 10 years and then when I got preggo I threw that out the window. Weird cravings and such. Never eat chicken legs and wings for that reason you stated. I buy my meat from a special Halal butcher (even though I'm not really Muslim) cause he eliminates ALL veins and grody stuff. If I even SEE that stuff I get nauseous. I barely eat red meat but still love shrimp and fish. I agree about chicken breasts...that is all I eat the rare occasions when I do eat chicken-but I usually am the one to prepare it. I'm definitely a closet vege...but I can't go back to that...not the way my life is now...with a toddler and such.

You know, growing up, the leg used to be my favorite part of the chicken. I was always freaked out by the veins that I found in my "food". I especially hated it when they were still a tad red. Ick.
Well, I have thus evolved and become a vegetarian. Back then, if someone would have told me that I'd be a veggie now, I would have laughed in their face. I'm saying that to say: you are not a closet vegetarian. Even the most staunch meat-eating folks probably have thoughts like that...knowing that their food was once living and breathing. Your feelings of queasiness are a good gateway, so to speak...you just might have it in you to convert!

A closet vegetarian is a person who IS a vegetarian but nobody knows. I see your point with chicken leg thingie though...it is disgusting and always grossed me out. Think about it...you ARE eating a leg of a creature that lived.

Probably not a closet vegetarian. Lots of people hate the stringy yucky bits in meat and prefer breast because you know you are not going to find anything that will make you gag. Many meat-eaters don't eat stuff like veal - for cruelty reasons, and things like liver and brains because they just look repulsive. You are just finding your comfort zone.

I'm a veggie and I can tell you what that bloopy piece is. It's dead chicken like all the rest of it. Basically you are eating carrion. Did you kill it ? No! You found it laying about dead where it's been kicking around for a bit. You are just beating the maggots at their own game. Try to think of sad eyed calves when you eat hamburgers.

Some people just aren't cut out for the meat diet. Me I always liked to chew on the grizzle and even the bone marrow sometimes. You have two choices as I see it.
Keep eating meat and fight the good fight or
Become one of THEM!
I say this in good fun. I've spent time in their ranks... and I've deserted their army.

I think you prefer the breasts to the legs because you're a closet cannibal and the thought of eating someone's leg isn't really pleasant but the thought of sinking your teeth into a big, plump, natural breast is ... well ... finger lickin' good.
