Let's say you buy a whole rotisserie chicken or a grilled chicken. Do you eat the cartilage?

[Red Liquorice]

What's the difference between buying a cooked chicken and cooking one yourself when it comes to eating these specific parts? Just wondering why the destinction was made.

I'm kind of funny about making stock from rotisserie chicken, I think I assume they're worse quality chickens than one I'd buy myself and cook.

 

[FernandoRocker]

Don't you guys eat shrimp tails? WTF.

I eat the heads too, specially from dried salted shrimp (but you gotta be careful with the horn). Absolutely delicious.

Also everyone that gags at the thought of eating cartilage, you do know it is used as filler in chicken nuggets right?

Nothing. Just wanted to write a funny thread title.

I love cartilage. The texture is the best part

 

[ItsTheLittleThings]

If it's soft enough.

 

[Absent Uncle]

I eat most things as I hate wasting food, but I just can't get used to the flavour.

You can combine it with chicken. Let's say an 80%-20% chicken-to-cartilage ratio.

What's the part on the like blade end of the wing thats kinda chewy? Sorry, I'm not a chicken parts expert.

ugh, shrimp tails are the worst, my grandma made these awesome shrimp sweet potato fritters, but she always left on the head and tails so i had to eat with the utmost of caution

 

[BubbaKrumpz]

Cartilage and marrow. Non nom. Only some parts. "Knuckles " are the best.

i can tell where y'all from when y'all say it's gross. Uncultured swine, the lot of you.

I only eat breast...

I don't eat the cartilage, no, but I'm sucking the marrow out of a bone I broke in half right now as I type this.

Can't bear Costco's rotisserie chicken for price unless you live somewhere where chicken is cheap.

That being said, my house pretty much only buys it for stock. The meat is usually only eaten with the same expectations one would have of fast food.

If we want roasted chicken meat, we roast chicken. But, if you're boiling the bones and bits...well, we're not so bougie that we care about using better chicken for stock haha.

 

[Uhtred]

You'll see me gnawing on chicken bones. I often crack them and suckle at the bone marrow, much to chagrin of my wife. But you won't catch me eating cartilage, I'm not a savage.

Seriously, it's got no flavor, it's hard, it's entirely unappetizing why would you eat it?

 

[lunarworks]

Ick. No.

 

[HeyNay]

That's collagen in there! It's good for your skin man, just eat it. You're already eating skin and flesh, what difference do the other bits make?

 

[SRG01]

I'll eat the cartilage off the breast, but not anywhere else because it's too hard.

I don't understand the comments about it being gross or the texture/taste being off. It's just crunchy bits of nothingness?

But why do you want to eat nothingness? To me, eating something without flavor is gross. Even the sound grosses me out because meat itself isn't supposed to be crunchy.

 

[Budi]

Huh, learned something new. Had no idea people just eat it like that, I need to do some investigation next time I'm having grilled chicken.

why are people who do not something in particular so fucking rude about it??

like, look at the way you respond.

holy shit.

I mean, texture is a HUGE reason for why people don't like certain foods. It's understandable.

 

[Dormammu]

Plenty of meat on the chicken, who needs to just keep eating so much that they go for the parts that are not?

Literally all they had to do was say "Nah I don't" and move on. That was all.

 

[rokkerkory]

I eat / suck the juices of shrimp / lobster / crab heads... that's where the BEST stuff is.

 

[Rampage]

Huh. Never knew this was a thing.

Depending on the texture, I might give it a try. I do occasional eat the marrow of chicken and ribs bones.

I usually just use the carcass for stock.

How difficult is it to say "not for me personally" instead of "this is gross, and people from cultures where this food is commonly consumed and even enjoyed are gross for liking this gross food"

 

[TickleMeElbow]

I will if I feel like it, so I voted "sometimes" lol.

It's pretty good. Crunchy too.

 

[Ringten]

I eat cartillage.

Don't tell us what is normal and what is not, especially when your defintion of normal comes from a white-ass culture.

[DanceToTheRadio]

Cartilage/gristle and fatty bits are some of the main reasons I'm easily turned off from poultry, beef, pork, etc. What I like is based almost solely on texture because I can barely taste anything.

Meat in general is not for me. If I lived on my own and could afford to do so, I'd cut out pretty much all meat from my diet and just keep eggs, dairy, and certain fish.

 

[THErest]

I'm gagging at the thought of deliberately eating cartilage.

Certain types of food are common to some regions and/or the poor or marginalized, and comments about being "savage" for eating this sort of food can be hurtful. Please be sensitive to the language you use when sharing your opinion on food, as other cultures may view things differently.
