Settle this MN.... white meat vs dark meat

[Mammie81]

DP says if I make a curry with the dark meat, at least it will still be edible?!?! Im aghaust! The dark meat is the best bit!!!

Dark meat for me too! Especially the Christmas turkey. Mmmm..

Oh, I thought this was a sex question!

It should be edible with white or dark meat if it is cooked correctly.

If dark meat is the best then why do companies always boast about things being made with "100% chicken breast"? Clearly breast is best

dark meat. It's moist and delicious. white meat is dry and boring.

that answers your question too, TD...

dark meat every time here - especially turkey! Tesco do turkey leg chunks in their Value range and it's brilliant for making casseroles, stews, curries etc.

the breast is shite. Tastes of nuffin

The 100% chicken breast is more to do with it not being made of foreskins, snouts, entrails etc...

Dark meat is tastier.

lol tatty - I just knew your post was going to contain the word "entrails" as soon as I saw the first part of it in Threads I'm On...

Dark meat absolutely. My favourite bits are those hidden lumps of dark meat underneath the turkey which everyone else always forgets about :)

I prefer thighs to breast. Much tastier.

I'd fight you for those, Gwendoline! I always ferret them out too!

I love white meat but probably only because my canny parents made out it was a 'treat' and they'd have to have the legs/wings for themselves ... odd how they still do this now there's only two of them, eh?

We had a good deal in our house - my Mum only ate the white meat, I would have both but preferrred the dark, my brother would only eat the white and my sister and Dad also ate both. So usually my Dad would have the wings (which he liked for some reason) and my sis and I would have a drumstick each, leaving most of the white meat to my mum and brother. Lucky or what!

People who like the wings are just odd :o A shining example of maximum effort for minimum gain!

White meat all the way for me... Pork or chicken... but the dark meat? Urgh...

Dark meat all the way.

Except for crab

Gwendoline maybe that's why chicken wings are often eaten by people "watching their weight"- not much meat on them and need a ton of effort to get at what there is?
