Guest ninhao Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 This is unusual. On Thanksgiving, a family member will carve up the turkey and ask us all, "White meat or dark?" Ron Rosenbaum scoffs at the preference for white meat over dark and discusses several possible reasons for the bias. Does the darker tone recall the soil we tread? Or are we betraying a more insidious prejudice? His original piece from 2010 is reprinted below. Reading the article I found no direct claim that matches this thread title. But it's definitely a controversial title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This kind.. LOL, I would have a go at that if I were hungry. It has one saving grace in that it has no peas (shudder), in it. Thinking that I should send Slate the recipe for my turkey and bacon chipolte/ranch sandwich. Phooey on Slate....send it to ME! It sounds wonderful.

And yes, that IS satire! I don't eat the stuff, but our son and daughter-in-love are vegetarians, and they do. Me, I'd rather eat the box it came in; probably tastes better.

White meat on a turkey comes out tasting very good as long as you inject it. The reason why dark meat turns out juicier is due to the turkey being cooked breast side up and the juices going down. But I fry my turkeys and don't have this problem. As I said all one needs to do is inject the white meat, I also inject the dark meat. It is so much better. Have not tried it fried, but injected is much more juicy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
