Black Chicken meat for dinner

   / Black Chicken meat for dinner #21  
In the US chicken didn't become an everyday food until after WW2. The USDA did a lot of research in the 1930's to come up with breeds that could be cheaply and profitably raised for meat. One of the things they found was that most existing meat breeds had dark feathers, and the skin was the same color as the feathers, and many consumers didn't like a bird with dark skin. One of their breakthroughs was coming up with a meat chicken with white feathers and today that's pretty much all you ever see.

Nooooope!
I firmly believe at this point I have tried and liked/loved enough dishes that I don't need to "try" anything that I need to exert energy to "try".
Pass.

I always choose dark meat on chicken if I can. So... WHich poart is the dark part... Hmmm. Wouldn't matter I would try any of it.

Kinda like the time I ate a 100 yr old duck egg. It was a double dawg dare!

Just going to say something like this without expanding on it?!

Wellllll.....

It was thanksgiving about 15 yrs ago. My older brother had ordered these eggs. When he opened them up in a carton like container. They were solid black still in a shell. I expected a rank/rotten smell but there wasn't one.

I hadn't ever thought about eating one. I had seen them on fear factor or something like it. I told him I wondered if it tasted as bad as it looked.

He broke protocol and whipped out the double dawg before the ritualistic dare ya... I could see the intent in his eye, he wanted to see me barf. I couldn't let that happen. I hadn't barfed since I was in my late 20's and he knew it. I couldn't let my reputation become tainted over an egg no matter the age.

Our family gatherings by now had grown to a fair size of about 35. Folks gathered around to watch the show, chants began, of what I can't say as I was mesmerized by the hideous black glob on the table in front of me.

I peeled the egg, it was black down into the core as deep as I could tell. Without hesitation i popped the egg in my mouth and began grinding it down. Some across me stared expecting a putrid spew to come hurling across the table and slid back. Others began to dry heave...

It is never easy to swallow a good boiled egg, none the less a freak of nature. I did it, I did the dirty deed, opened my mouth declaring victory over the defiled (see the play on deviled...) egg.

I stand now with reputation still intact and pukeless for now about 35 years. :)

Oh the next year I had my revenge.... My daughter was nursing my 3rd grandchild. For thanksgiving, we had booby milk cheese, or at least some did... That is a story for another day/post. ;)😁
