Help ID Bad Chicken

chim · Jan 26, 2006

As we sat down to enjoy the chicken dinner that we had been waiting for, I made a couple slices into the breast and discovered a spot showing on one slice. I cut another, and exposed what appears to be some sort of tumor? The surrounding meat kinda peeled away from it, as though it was an entirelly separate muscle (or growth - yuk).

Anyone ever see anything like this? Wifey and I have a "combined chicken eating experience" of over 100 years and we haven't. Needless to say, we didn't eat any of it.................chim

"Well honey I guess we're going vegeterian tonight"

The yellowish colored growth near the bone your talking about doesn't look very appealing , It kinda looks like an oyster almost, This chicken wasn't stuffed was it?

Maybe thats what dried up the meat... Just kidding /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Don't tell the wife /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Kind of makes you wonder what chicken nuggets are made of, doesn't it?
I don't guess we have ever had a situation like that in one of our beeves we had slaughtered. But it must happen. Animals are prone to cancer, tumors and such pretty much like we are. Hmmmmmm..... What does Bo Pilgrim do w/ a chicken that comes up w/ something like that? Or one of the big beef killing plants?

You didn't leave the plastic bag of guts in there before you cooked it, did you?

We returned it to the store and the meat manager said it was bruised. Immediately gave us a refund. Can't say I buy that explanation. Can't figure how the bad spot was so deep inside without anything looking wrong with the first 3/4" of meat..................chim

You should have said loudly, "what, bruised the large freakish looking tumor?". Even when you bruise a muscle it still has the shape, texture, and construction of a muscle. That thing looked like a growth.
