AIBU to think that the cook gets the best piece of crackling?

[GreenLowe]

I can justify taking the best piece, can't I?

Of course.

I always pick the best yorkies, and if any left over they are mine!

Chefs perks. I work as a waitress and the chefs seriously spoil us with the scruffy end of a dessert that can't be sold, the tiny scone that you make when there's not enough for a whole one and a fair bit of quality control. I pretty much live for the kitchen perks.

Yes... Unless your wife is pregnant in which case she gets all of the best bits of everything... Or so I tell my husband...

The cheesiest, crispiest part of the lasagna/Mac n cheese.
Chicken wings and oysters
The tiniest roast potatoes that have broken free and are super crispy (sense a theme here?)
The end super-well-done-part of a rib of beef, all salty and fatty

Cook ALWAYS gets the crispy skin and meat off the chickens legs. It is LAW!

Bits of leftover dough when you're making biscuits but have way too many of them already...

The hell is a chicken oyster?!

Three of them don't want any crackling because they're on a diet(Doesn't stop them from wanting Dauphinoise potatoes though) and one person hates it so it looks like I'll have to eat two thirds of it myself. What a shame.

First cut of the roast lamb to taste while carving

Always the chicken oysters (they’re the bit just under the thigh - take the whole thigh/leg off and there’s 2 bits of plump chicken nestled against the underneath of the lower rib).

Chicken wings

Chicken burnt bits

Crackling

Scrappy roast potatoe bits

All the chefs.

The parsons nose. Better than the oysters as it has yummy crispy skin.

Don't undersell yourself, OP. The chef gets all of the crackling.

I found out about the chicken oysters from “Red Dragon”, it was how Will Graham realised Lecter was the killer.

That and Lecter stabbing him 5 mins later.

Yes to the best bit of crackling.

Also, chicken skin and licking the spatula when baking.

Isn't the Parsons nose the bum hole?? I can't eat it as I was always told this 😂

Chef always gets the first pancake as it never turns out quite right.

The rest of my family don’t know that the very best piece of crackling or chicken skin even existed. I’ve shoved it in my gob on the sly well before I call them to the table

DH doesn't like chicken skin. Dd recently turned veggie. Ds (5) will never, ever know the sheer luxury of hot, chicken skin.

I used to have to share with dd. Not anymore.

The gloppy creamy/jammy bit with cake crumbs that accumulates when you cut a cake into slices. I cut a slice then run knife across edge of a bowl and when finished serving the cake I scoop and scoff the cakey mess with my finger - makes me feel like Nigella Lawson

Oh, yes and definitely the chicken skin.

I used to tell my DD that I bought skinless chickens

Yes. Chicken skin.

My DS was 13 before he realised cooked chickens did actually come with skin when he caught me snaffling it one day all greasy fingered

Lol Minty - great minds.

My mouth is watering now. I've got the world's most crappy Bolognese for dinner....harrumph.

The majority of the mango that sticks to the stone.

Yep deffo cooks perk, the bits of roast potato that stick to the tray is my favourite. As is testing everything to make sure it's not poisoned .
