I've been busy and I apologize for not blogging earlier. I do what I can, ya know?
Here's the thought for the day. WHY do stores sell chicken labeled as "parts"? We all know what is edible on the chicken. Usually this is right on the package. Why even use the word PARTS? You never see 'beef parts' for sale. Or 'fish parts'. Why sell chicken parts? It's rather nasty sounding.
I suppose it is for determining whether or not you want all the internal organs PLUS your meat as opposed to just (for example) breasts or thighs.
Makes me want to be a vegetarian. Probably healthier, anyway.
As they say...parts is parts and them's pieces parts!

That is an interesting question. I wonder if it is because you never buy a whole cow or pig. It is assumed you will buy a part.
I am a vegetarian, but still cook meat for my family occaisionally. I must admit that I hate handling the stuff in that little bag more now.
Heh. For some reason your entry reminded me of a weird little freezer case that used to be at our local supermarket.
It was one of those free-standing freezers that they kept off to the side, sort of near the deli, but just kind of off in the corner. It had odd meat "parts" --the most recognizable "parts" being chicken feet.
I am most certainly NOT a vegetarian, but I don't want anything to do with chicken feet.
ArmyGuy and I used to call that case the VOODOO freezer.
There is a free-standing shelf in the commissary that has pork "products" in it. The first indicator that it is a little suspicious is that NONE of the items need to be kept cold. It has stuff like fatback, smoked/cured ham, and pickled pigs feet. EEEWWWWW! Granted, perhaps I am not comprehending the lure of these items due to my lack of exposure to them on a daily basis, but still.... EWWWWW!
I've never understood chicken feet. There isn't enough to warrant cooking. LOL
I am not a squeamish man by any stretch of the imagination, but here are a few things that I simply don't want anything to do with:
feet, brains, tongues, snoots, rocky mountain oysters (balls), intestines.
Note that stomach is not on the list. I would like to try authentic haggas some day.
XCircMan...what the hell is a "streak of lean" ???
ArmyGuy...you're on your own with the haggis.
Actually I had haggis. It doesn't taste bad at all. The different thing is the oatmeal as filler instead of rice or bread that we use here in the states. Pretty much poor man's food, but not bad.
They even make vegetarian haggis now, which I find hilarious.
