gosh, sia, now you really have me wondering....have you called your grandmother or KFC to find out?! maybe it's a growth from the hormones they force feed them so they can mass produce big chickens quickly...no, wait, that goes in hot dogs.
i'm at a loss. i was at food for less earlier. too bad i didn't think to ask the butcher! LOL

Sia, I suck cooked beef marrow but don't chew bones. Regarding the crinkly brown stuff behind a chicken's thigh, I don't know what it is either, so I don't eat it.

Maybe it's cellulite?

We haven't discussed brains and sweetbreads.
If Rob is a birdbrain as he was discribed in another thread, maybe that's why Shi Ann often gives Rob those inscrutable , appraising looks.

Yuk, Chip! That's disgusting! But a good guess. At least you're brainstorming with me.

Tabby, if I called my Grams in the middle of the night, she'd brain me when I see her again! She needs her rest at 84. I love her so much. There is nothing my Grams can't answer; she's the absolute best!!

Sia, are you talking about the brown mass in a pocket of the back/thigh bone? I remember my Mom telling me that it was the kidney. Don't know it this is correct. Tried to confirm this, but couldn't find anything. I have eaten it and it tastes similar to the liver.

Sia, I just asked the people in my office what that chicken part was and they laughed at me!! I used to eat it when I was a kid. If Tester is right and it is the kidney, then I'm glad I quit.

chickens have kidneys behind their knees? wow.

Here is a diagram of a chicken with parts labelled:

I hope no one is eating the "fluff"!!

My mom only bought parts, so I never became involved in organ meats of chickens, but working with lots of Chinese and Vietnamese co-workers, we had some interestng parts show up, like whole heads and feet.. usually marinated.

When I had dinner with a friend and her adopted Korean kids.. one was squeamish, the younger one not at all.. so Shelley was the one who ate all the fish eyes :)

Personally, I always figure what anyone wants to eat is cool and sometimes I'll have the guts to try whatever it is.. like Kim Chee, and sometimes I won't (fish eyes).

It couldn't be the kidney, because that wouldn't be located in the right place. It's some nasty thing stuck on the back of the chicken's thigh! Sorry to have created a stir, but it drives me NUTS and I WON'T EAT IT!! ROTFL!! Yes, Tester, it's tucked into the back of the thigh. I forgot to call my grandmother today, and she's certainly in bed now!

maybe it's a thighmaster?!

alegria, the pics don't help because the chicken isn't naked. the stuff behind the thigh is covered in feathers! do you have any 'buck' chicken pics? lol

sia, uh, do you live in nevada or new mexico, or any other testing sites?

i think i will have to go to the store and look like 'harriet the spy' or something, complete with notebook, reading glasses, magnifying glass and leading questions...

Tabbiet-the-spy: "uh, hello, i was just checking out your thighs.

Meat-guy: "huh?" tabbiet notices he holds stomach in, because tied on apron starts a slippin'.

Tabbiet: "not your thighs. your chicken's thighs."

Meat guy: "my children's thighs?!"

Tabbiet: "no, your CHICKEN thighs.

Meat guy: "i don't have chicken thighs. at least not since i started weight lifting in the 6th grade and drinking beer in the 8th."

Tabbiet: "i mean the poultry chicken. and before you think i said, 'paltry', i'm on to you and your evasive tactics. don't make me get the duct tape out!"

Meat guy: "what about 'em?"

Tabbiet: "i was just wondering what that thing hanging off the back of the thigh is. you know that crinkly brain-looking thing that sia won't eat."

Meat-guy: "huh?" scratches head. Tabbiet makes mental note to see if he washes his hands before handling her meat.

Tabbiet: "you see, there's a group of us on the tv clubhouse board, and some of us even have shirts, although if you didn't know neil lived in canada, you might think it was lost in the mail because it took weeks to arrive, but damn, it looked good when it got here, and we wear them to play games like big brother and amazing race and survivor. yes, that is all one sentence, and look at me when i'm talking to you! now, there are these people on survivor, 10 or so at this time, athough there were 16 at the beginning, 500 if you count in the production crew, camera men, jeffy and one peckerhead with a british accent, and these survivors ate a chicken, and one thing led to another, mainly robb's complaining about how shii ann eats, and now sia wants to know what that ugly, crinkly--don't wrinkle up your nose at me!--hangy thing is on the back of the chicken's thigh."

Meat guy: "i dunno. the back of his thigh?"

Tabbiet: "not! the rocket scientist i sleep with already guessed that and got shot down."

Meat-guy: "his kidney?"

Tabbiet: "ah, so you do read our boards. no, sia is pretty sure it's not the kidney. although when i was 5 or 6, it was fun to put my eye skin up or down and then grab my knees and say, 'japanese, chinese, kid knees'.

Meat guy: "have you tried KFC or sia's grandma to ask what it might be?"

Oh Yuck-lol.This is the most digusting thread I've ever read! I'm going to ask the mods to remove it because of the"fowl" remarks.

Sia, you need to ask your "chicken/thigh/crinkly, brainy looking thing" question on the "I Have A Dumb Question" thread. I've never seen a question go unaswered there!

Besides, now you have me curious. I still can't picture what you're talking about.

My fluffy little Easter chick was so cute. I raised him to full grown. Who know he was so ugly under those feathers. I've heard of white meat and dark meat....but those in the photos will be red meat!

It IS the KIDNEY! I called my Grams this morning. She is 84 and raises chickens for food. She gathers the eggs and also "takes the tops off" her chickens regularly when she either has too many, has a hankering for chicken, or when we have a holiday meal.

Grams also worked in a poultry packing plant (very small operation; "plant" is a bit of a stretch) and she said the chickens are cut in half and then in half again, and the cut is often right at that bone-joint...whatever she said, she was confusing me after a certain point. Anyway, it IS the kidney!

YUK! I'm still not eating it!

Next dumb question: WHAT IS THAT NASTY THING THAT MY CAT LEAVES BESIDE THE BACK DOOR WHEN HE'S CAUGHT AND EATEN A MOUSE, RABBIT, SQUIRREL, CHIPMUNK, OR OTHER RODENT? lol

Alegria, the Naked Chicken is, to say the least, FREAKISH-LOOKING. I wish I hadn't seen that. *URP* It doesn't look appetizing at all. I want my chicken breaded and deep-fried, not naked and walking around all skinny and scary like that!!

our cats leave the tail and the liver. ick...

but can you believe my made up 'meat guy' thought the same thing as tester....and they were right!?

i guess hens have chicken knees in the front and kidneys in the back! lol

Are we still in the ShiiAnn thread? Poor girl, I hope she doesn't get wind of us. Oh. My. Heck.

Sia

Shii Ann does seem to have demonstrated a feeling of impending doom--much as Stephanie did last episode--as if she knows the tribe will be gunning for her next. It's no fun being the odd-man-out and knowing that "the Beautiful People/the Popular People" don't accept you. It's the same mentality as high school cliques or the factions on "Big Brother."

"Oh. My. Heck."

Catfat, I still love that! My brother and I say it all the time and crack each other up. I think you can almost alwaqys recognize another Survivor fanatic when you hear this term said in a certain way!

Sia, I agree, Shii Ann does seem to be feeling "impending doom." I think her story is about to end, but I hope I am wrong. I am loving Robb for the entertainment, but I'd rather see Shii Ann stay.

Sia, thanks to you and your grandmother for the confirmation that the mass is the kidney. I wanted to know for sure too. winksmile
