MMmmm, Chicken

[netmouse]

I bought a whole roasted chicken and ate some of it for my dinner tonight (with green beans and cucumber as sides). I simply adore roasted chicken. One of my favorite things about having a roast to myself is that I get both oysters. When I was a kid we had to share those, as in my family they are considered the choicest part of the bird.

Oyster?

[skzbrust.livejournal.com]

This is the first time I've heard that chickens had oysters. Um...what are they?

There's also them as thinks the pope's nose is the best part. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope%27s_nose

Not I, you understand, but it bears mention.

I'm weird. I like the skin (I know, it's bad, but there it is) and liver a lot. But otherwise the breast meat tends to be my favorite.

I like the pope's nose, the gizzard, and the heart. And the skin. Drumsticks are the most fun to eat. But I usually buy boneless skinless breasts. (Never heard of nor tried the oysters -- I suppose it makes sense though -- I'd heard of prairie oysters, but never those on a chicken.)

So...chickens have oysters. Who knew?

Next you'll be telling me clams have legs.

What can I say? I like breasts. ;)

Funny I grew up in total ignorance of the oysters.

I think I ate them by default being the family scrounger when it came to food but I never found them extra tasty.
