Fun fact, the whole "light meat, dark meat" distinction came about because people were too timid to say breast or thigh in public.

I guess you could say they were...

...chicken.

too timid to say breast or thigh

That's why I say "bosom" or "loin".

I'm more of a tits or gams kinda guy

[-] STRIKINGdebate2@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

We don't have that in my country. Aren't both of them the same colour?

[-] ubermeisters@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago

Breasts are white meat. Wings and thighs are dark meat. White meat gets "drier" than dark meat if not cooked properly. Dark meat is a little more savoury.

White meat is "fast twitch" muscle and is used for short powerful bursts of activity, like the breast muscles, which are used for flapping the wings

Dark meat is "slow twitch" muscle and is used for longer duration activities like walking, hence the legs and thighs are dark meat.

Dark meat contains more fat and can be cooked longer without becoming dry. White meat becomes dry and tough very quickly if overcooked.

This only really applies to birds, mammals are made of red meat, which is like a combination of both fast and slow twitch and can do both sort and long duration activities

Dark meat is basically meat that's closer to the bone. Compare to white meat, which is basically just the breast.

I prefer the dark meat, it seems to be more flavourful. I know a lot of people want nothing to do with blood and bones, and they prefer white meat because of that

”Colour”

Your opinion isn’t valid.

[-] scarilog@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago

Now I am become fist, destroyer of customer's face.

You can get chicken breast at KFC?

[-] Venat0r@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

It's usually the worst bit: almost always super dry.

[-] beepbooprobot@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Personally, I'm a fan of the stuffing

[-] ColonelSanders@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Couldn't agree more

[-] Venat0r@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Where/Since when do KFC ask what bits you want?

[-] cucumberbob@programming.dev 5 points 10 months ago

They dont. You can ask them though, at least in my country (UK)

You’d be lucky to get breast though. IIRC from the time I worked there, 2/14 pieces are breast per chicken, and if people specify, they usually want breast, so there aren’t many left.
