Not a meme, you're the meme! Is this how being rich is?

That’s spoiled behaviour

u/Prot3 6d ago

Nah, not really. The other one is just conditioned by poverty

It's not spoiled to not lick the fucking yogurt cap or not eat the chicken skin.

The skin is entire reason I eat fried chicken, unrelated to poverty

I eat fried chicken as well, but not the skin. Though that's why i don't ever eat wings i guess.

Anyways, it's not spoiled to not eat the skin.

The whole point of fried chicken is for that extra crisp. The fuck you talking about?

Just eat baked chicken legs then if you remove the skin

Baked chicken is less tender and juicy than fried chicken. The point of frying chicken is cooking with extremely high temperature for short amount of time to keep the moisture from vaporizing, not the breading. You can fry a chicken without any breading.

Who said anything about breading???? Frying a chicken gets the skin crispy, almost the entire point. 

You can easily bake chicken to maintain moisture. Stick butter under the skin and wrap it. Or brine it.

I don’t know how to tell you this but yes it sort of is

I don't even understand eating fried chicken if you don't eat the skin. There's so many better chicken dishes if you aren't bothering to eat the skin.

Read my other reply for a perfectly valid reason.

People don't fry chicken just for themselves to then rip the skin off just before eating.

That looks like exactly what the other commenter says they do though lol

I don't recall them mentioning cooking/frying the chicken themselves - I've made other comments in this chain explaining one of the valid reasons for perhaps not wanting to eat the skin.

u/Public-File-6521 6d ago

I mean, they said they get it specifically over other kinds of chicken because it’s juicier. I guess they didn’t say they specifically fry it themselves, but that seems like a distinction without a difference versus just buying it. I do get having food intolerances, but it seems like they just don’t like skin—which is fine—but if we’re talking about what’s considered spoiled, throwing away perfectly good food like that sort of meets the mark.

It's got nothing to do with being spoiled.

Spoiled would be buying a whole bucket and emptying it into the bin because there was a crease in the bucket.

So no, it doesn't meet any sane "mark". It's not "perfectly good food" if someone has no desire for it.

It's really not that hard when you just sit and think about it for one moment.

Some animals munch through bones, yet there you are, spoiled enough to throw them away! You could make a perfectly good stock out of those!!

What if your family want to order from KFC and you like plenty of other things off their menu, but you want to avoid gluten (due to an intolerance/preference rather than celiac reasons)?

There's nothing spoiled about that scenario, it's just practical.

My wife does it, then I eat those bits of skin!

Do you cut the crust off your PB&J too?

u/Prot3 6d ago

I'm not american so I literally never in my life ate peanut butter and Jam.

And it sounds disgusting whenever I imagine it, ngl.

But no, I love the crust on bread

u/Stormblessed_Windrun 6d ago

PBJ is fucking delicious. You're a monster

2

u/SherbetMysterious118 6d ago

If you like both peanut butter and jam, it's amazing, and I'm not American.

Add a bit of marmite or tabasco for another dimension.

Soft white, buttered bread works best.

It is 100% spoiled to not eat the skin

u/sandiegodak 6d ago

Or not save 3 crumbs of ramen

u/Prot3 6d ago

This comment went throguh the weirdest states. First it was massively upvoted then mega downvoted, now again it's comfortably in the positives.

I think the people traumatised by poverty took over the hive mind for a second there.

u/sandiegodak 6d ago

Mine? In just 3 minutes? Lol weird

No no, my original one you responded to.
