People who won't eat chicken on the bone are fucking infuriating

[colditz]

I've let the kid off because he's six and a treasured guest, and I've given him a lump of cheese instead, but deep inside I'm seething.

he wouldn't even taste it!

I think this is a hangover from days with the ex, who wouldn't eat it either, and used to make absurd statements about food to avoid eating my cooking (ie "I've gone off carrots" and "You know I prefer margarine!")

WHY won't people eat chicken on the bone? WHY?

Ps no children were offended in the making of this complaint.

My dd gnaws at bones like some kind of rabid hound.

My ds on the other hand will go pale and ask where the hommous and lentils are But that's for all meat, with or without bones!

fairy bubbles, why can't he eat the stringy/rubbery bits? They are whats in mechanically recovered meat (ie a lot of processed meat!)

I do eat chicken (no other meat) but I simply cannot if I am not able to detach in my head the whole time the thought that it is a dead animal. I have always been like that, not all my family are like that, and I wasn't fed on processed meat! It is kind of deeper than that, even though I know that sounds silly.

I prefer boneless chicken as theres more meat, no cartilage and less messy. If I eat chicken on the bone then majority of it goes to to waste. Also, fussy eating tends to be combination of genetics and environmental experiences
