To have scoffed ALL the lovely salty herby chicken skin THEN demand that DH carve it?

[snigger]

He's taking it awfully badly.

What can I say?

It was there.

just say sorry and next time scoff it at the end!!!

YABU [pout]

who cooked it?

Chicken skin - goooooooood.

YABU if DH likes the skin too. If not, so what if you scoffed it

Actually scrap that, YABU if DH likes skin too and has helped cook the dinner.

yanbu

you snooze you lose in terms of chicken skin in my family

I always do that.

I have just waited for DH to go to work for the night and finished the lemon pudding as soon as he went out the door.

[fat cow]

I'm going to selectively disregard every response that doesn't suit me...

You snooze, you lose, is working for me.

He did the brocolli, I did the chicken, potatoes, and creamed spinach, but he usually sets the table, carves, and makes the gravy.

I still don't feel guilty.

Brocolli?

Broccoli?

Broccolli?

This is one for pedant's corner!

YABVU

at you snooze you lose

tis the same rule in our house

yanbu

ewwwwww at chicken skin

I think DH married me because I leave the skin for him

Pork crackling, now thats another ball game altogether

oh yes, I believe the legal term is

Law of Bagsie.

Broccoli.
Duck skin is my thing...salty and fatty and soooo yum.

He said it's like carving a nude chicken

It's just peevishness - although, to be fair, were the positions reversed he'd be too bloody terrified to scarf the lot save me some.

Isn't a roast chicken already nude, being devoid of feathers?!

There are be levels of nude in DH's world, Sticky - best not to ask.

There are be?

I need to pay more attention to my typing....

I'm thinking about levels of nudity now. Hmmm. I actually feel more nude in a pair of tights than with bare legs. Tights are not very attractive, are they?
Going off the point here, I realise...

I am sooooooooooo pleased I have found other chicken skin lovers. EVERYONE I know is like bleurggghhh when I say I love skin.

The upside of course is that I get to eat it ALL!

YANBU, I like the You Snooze, You Lose theory!

oh no, it's lovely! I love skin! All crispy and salty and mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I'd actually probably rather chomp the seasoned skin than the actual chicken

I got into sooooo much trouble over this when I was sill living at home.

Mum had cooked a chicken, and left it on the side to deal with the next day. I got in from a night out at stupid o'clock, saw the chicken just sitting there, as if abandoned, and pulled all the skin off and ate it.

The next morning I denied all knowledge, but have still not been forgiven...
