Wishbone disaster

While stripping chicken carcass for stock for soup, I’ve accidentally snapped the wishbone. Feel like I’ve killed a dream, or even a fairy. Please reassure me.

Ffs...absolute rubbish OP. Don't give it another thought.

Since you snapped it then I guess you technically got the big piece. Why don’t you make a wish and then the lost wishbone won’t be in vain (since that’s how it sounds like you feel).

Just say your wish.

You’ve ruined it for yourself.

Glue it back together!

This is not a proportionate response for an adult to have over a chicken.

It's fine, calm down. All you need to do is find a local oak tree, strip all your clothes off and run widdershins around it three times, banging a saucepan.

I’d say its a normal response to such an incident.

Thinking of it from the chicken's viewpoint may help you to gain perspective.

Just wish that it wasn't broken. If it mends, you are back to where you started; if it doesn't, there is no point in being back there.

This is brilliant.

Best thread I’ve ever read 🤣🤣🤣

The perfect solution, GoodOldEmmaNess. That is exactly what I have done. Without giving anything away, I think everything will be ok. 👌

Always take them out before I roast the chicken, makes it easier to carve!
