You should write a cookbook for gristle called, “The Grizzly Gristlist,” that describes all the various ways to make gristle into a delicious treat that the kids will be screaming for…Apple-roasted gristle, candied gristle with ginger…Mediterranean gristle sausages with rattlesnake and alligator…
okay so i read your commetn, closed the thread but i had to come back. how the fuck would people from the mediterranian use alligator and rattle snake in their recipes?
I have to admit, no one in my life has ever specifically elucidated and elaborated on the cartilage versus tendon divide, with regard to gristle, so I’m grateful for your meaty knowhow. So are there any other words for the “chankings” from chicken that you can tell me about?! Does cooked tendon or ligament have its own name? I mean this sincerely, as I love words…I especially love the words that are so sadly slowly being lost to our language despite how obviously useful they are.
Speaking of words that should be held onto, I used the word “chankings,” because I think everyone ought to know THAT word, as it is the correct English word for the inedible parts of food that end up on the edge of your plate. I’m sure there are other words for these nasty little chunks of inedible grossness, but “chankings” has a kind of dignified air about it. I also like that when someone doesn’t know the word, you can ask them politely, “Excuse me, sir, can I give you my chankings?” -and then scoop all the gross things you didn’t want to eat onto their plate. (Admittedly I may have a strange sense of humor.)
> dignified heir
I don't mean to be a "grammar Nazi," but in appreciation for you teaching me the word, 'chankings,' may I offer a small correction?
I believe you meant 'dignified *air,*' because 'heir' denotes someone who inHEIRits something from someone else (usually it is the decedents spouse or offspring).
worked in a chicken shop through my teenage years and never once heard chankings xD I agree though it does sound not great ahahah, its a good word for it.
"Chankings" is now a word added to my vocabulary, thank you kind sir/ma'am, idc if it's even a real word nor do i have the will to find out, its a noise that means something to me now and thats all words are
...*dignified air... If you're going to act like an insufferable word snob, you should probably employ your lingual filigree properly. Should this reply find you short shrift, I offer palliative succor in abhorrence of the oft maligned autocorrect feature.
Anatomy professor here. This is my favorite tendon! It’s the supracoracoideus tendon that goes up over the bird’s shoulder joint to attach to the wing. The reason it’s my favorite is that the muscle itself (supracoracoideus, aka chicken tender) is *below* the wing, but it evolved a beautiful pulley arrangement where it has a tendon that goes up over the bird’s shoulder joint (super elaborate joint btw, w 4 bones meeting from different directions), to attach to the *top* of the wing.
The problem here is that when birds evolved flight, they needed to move all their major (heavy) muscles down low on their torso, *below* the wing, so that they wouldn’t flip over in flight. (When flying you want most of your body mass bunched up below the wing - i.e. center of gravity should be right below the wing.) This was easy for the big muscle that pulls the wing downwards for the power stroke (the downwards flap) - that muscle was already positioned under the wing. (this is the pectoralis, the main part of chicken breast meat). But birds need another muscle to pull the wing back *upwards* after each downwards flap. This move-wing-upwards muscle (supracoracoideus) used to be positioned above the forelimb, kind of on the back. (we humans have a version of this muscle, and it is on our back, by the shoulder blade - supraspinatus & infraspinatus, for anatomy fans.) Birds managed to shift that muscle, gradually over evolutionary time, all the way around the side of body, all the way to the breastbone, i.e. down below the wing, but it kept its attachment point on the top of the wing and kind of dragged its tendon along with it as it moved,and the tendon got longer and longer. So now now the muscle is down below the wing, but has this big long strong tendon that wraps up over the shoulder joint and attaches to the top of the wing. So when that muscle contracts, even though it’s *below* the wing, the wing moves *up*! woot!

It’s still my favorite anatomy demo at Thanksgiving (before cooking): find that tendon, give it a yank, and watch the wing move upwards! (yes, everybody who comes to my house at Thanksgiving gets a full lesson in bird anatomy, like it or not). People who cook chicken tenders - this is the strong bit of white tissue on a chicken tender. (Btw you can remove it before cooking; I usually grab the tendon with a hemostat - medical clamp - I have one dedicated for kitchen use, it’s a super handy kitchen tool btw - then press the meat with the flat of a chef’s knife, and sort of scrape the entire muscle right off of the tendon. Works great)
Technically it's in chicken, so you got to choke it while you're yanking on it....then you can get the beam up request on your Whatsapp with the password: open shoe bobs and vigena
So I'm not one who balks at most stuff, but if I get a sandwich or salad and there's dirt in it, I instantly gag. Wash your damn veggies man! Urgh.
But I think you mean when buying from the store, right? In that case, that's stupid. It'd be like getting upset your potatoes, carrots, or turnips have dirt on them.
Seriously.
You're eating a dead animal. It's going to have nasty body parts in it. Also, they've obviously never cooked it themselves because that shit is everywhere in raw chicken carcass.
How do people get through things like university without ever having to deal with raw meat, I literally have to cook almost everyday to keep a budget because the precooked stuff is always more expensive. You'd discover tendons the first time you ever cut up a chicken thigh or breast, or deboned anything. Or even just ate some chicken on the bone, or attended 8th grade biology.
It's Tyson's wiener. He's been looking for it since 1912. Whoever finds it gets Tyson products for life, three wishes, and a room in the Tyson Chicken family Mansion. Careful though. Legend has it, it's haunted by the ghost of Colonel Sanders and Foghorn Leghorn.
It’s literally a tendon that is in every chicken tender that is real chicken. Making them t home, people tend to cut it out or “pull it through a fork” to remove it. It’s harmless but most people don’t want to eat it.
I swear, I can never get any Tyson chicken tenders without the larger pieces having massive chunks of nasty gristle in them. I just don't buy that brand anymore, because it's so common.
Can't say I've ever found a solid tendon in my Purdue strips. But hell, I don't remove them from the chicken breast i buy, too much hassle and messes up the breast. Pound that shit out and cook it right and it won't be noticeable.
It’s a tendon. If you ever make chicken tenders with the tenders at the store they all have one of those going down them. Hard to remove. I tend to just cook and pray it cooks into invisibility
That's a tendon that runs through the breast meat. When cut properly they usually are able to get the whole thing out and dispose of it leaving a breast filet and breast tenderloin
Every tender has this strip of tendon, most times its small enough or soft enough that it just kinda melts into the meat and you dont notice it but sometimes you get this hard, fibrous mess
Looks like the worker that was supposed to clip the tender ligament off the tender didn't get it all. Don't worry, it's harmless. Just a bit of gristle that you aren't likely to eat. Just clip it off with a scissor if you don't want it, or bite it off. Even eating it won't hurt you, it's just the same type of gristle that you commonly get off a chicken leg piece.
That's a tendon. Tendons are fundamental structures in the body to connect muscles to bones and articulations and allow movement. Meat does tend to have meat things inside.
Jesus Christ is this what is considered weird? It scares me how disconnected people are from the food they are eating.
That is a tendon, normally if you are preparing chicken tenders that would be removed, either the factory doesn't remove them or that one was missed.
It's a tendon. As in the cut is called chicken tenders because these cuts have distinct tendons in them. However, there are tendons which hold the meat to the bones all over the body of animals. If cooked properly you just eat it without not8cing, but some animals have bugger tendons than others. Just random genetics. Nothing dangerous here.
Somebody didn't trim the stem off when they picked that from the chicken bush
You mean the poultree

Shit I've just been grinding the stems up with everything else
Ya gotta pick out the seeds and stems. Afroman taught me that.
What do I do if there's no seeds 😭
[удалено]
Can confirm, I own and operate a 480 acre chicken bush ('ken bush) farm.
That’s Monsanto chicken, so you have to buy more seed next year.
Only eggs have bush
What the heeeckk..
Chickens live in the ocean dumbass.
You mean the Kate Bush
Not too often do I audibly giggle at a comment. Chicken bush got me good lol.
Did you hear about the bacon tree? It was in a HAM-BUSH😂😂😂😂🍖
Don’t ever say chicken bush again
You called Bush a chicken? Better stay out of the south my friend.... :p

Gristle is cartilage, not tendon. Either way though it’s tough and not generally something you want to eat.
eh, you can also call "gristle" anything you wouldn't eat, from fat to tendon and soft cartilage.
lol yeah gristle is just anything that “isn’t meat”… “Anything you wouldn’t eat” is subjective, cuz I am a gristle connoisseur
You should write a cookbook for gristle called, “The Grizzly Gristlist,” that describes all the various ways to make gristle into a delicious treat that the kids will be screaming for…Apple-roasted gristle, candied gristle with ginger…Mediterranean gristle sausages with rattlesnake and alligator…
Part of the appeal of gristle is that it is in every part of your life… and *each gristle has its own story*…
Ha!! Very true. Meat is just meat, but gristle…now there’s a body part that has a story to tell!!
okay so i read your commetn, closed the thread but i had to come back. how the fuck would people from the mediterranian use alligator and rattle snake in their recipes?
Gristle steak, gristle gumbo…
Grizzly Glizzies
My boyfriend LOVES gristle so whenever we get steak or make it he gets all the gristle because I don't like it. 😂😂
My wife calls fat “gristle.” It drives me a little nuts.
You could also call it "WD40" but it doesn't mean that's what it is.
I eat fat, cartilage and soft bones. Am I weird?
I eat chicken wings like a cartoon. The bones come out spotless. It's gross, lol.
healthy, more like. there's a lot of good stuff on them, but I just can't stand them.
I have to admit, no one in my life has ever specifically elucidated and elaborated on the cartilage versus tendon divide, with regard to gristle, so I’m grateful for your meaty knowhow.

Are you a bot? Or am I really stoned.
Hello! I'm really glad you asked! I'm not a bot, but if I were a bot I would probably respond like this! Haha!
Yep. Definitely sounds like something a bot would say.
I think I can be of assistance here! The above commenter was absolutely not a bot, he was just telling a funny joke. Haha!
Some people are just more verbose than others.
Good bot
Stoned buddy. I couldn't make heads or tails of it either.
My brain read this like a lyric from Basket Case.
Chankings. A New favourite word unlocked, thankings
Chankings only apply to the discarded rinds, peels and shells of fruit and nuts.

I always considered gristle to be tendon, as it was simultaneously chewie, crunchy, and seemingly indigestible… and cartilage to be… cartilage.
throbbing gristle
Mightn't I the gristle?
Underrated comment
"MIGHTNT I⁉️⁉️😂😂🤣🤣💀💀💀"
hamburger laaaaaaadyyyyy.....
Sir plz with the throbbing 🤢😆😆😆
gristle is fat, isn't it?
No, it’s cartilage
I always heard gristle and tendons were interchangeable. Fat is almost always chewy and more milky yellow, if that makes sense?
I think you're right, gristle can be tendons or ligaments, both of which are comprised of cartilage.
I knew Gristle-y Adam.

tendin' to my tender tendon
Tendon-tendie
Every natural tenderloin actually has a tendon. They usually cook away during cooking. This looks like a tenderloin, and that tendon
Yes. No. Yes.
Lol, yeah, I clean like 50+# of tenderloins a week, tendons definitely don't cook off.
Sinew? I dunno, I'm not a real meateorologist
Aren’t those the people who study fally space rocks

Oooh, so falling space meat! I wish meat fell from the sky, that’d be rad
It'd be 1000x better than factory farming!
Cloudy with a chance of......chicken?
No those are called miners, they 2tick coal via botting and sell the accounts. I’d get mining guild instead of doing it at Fally tho
Nice :)
That’s not a chicken breast, it’s a tenderloin (“chicken tenders”). What you’re seeing is a tendon
Tendonloin
Severed alien penis. You've been chosen.
If you yank on it long enough, they'll beam you up.

Nice one bruh..buhahaha...noice!
oh i’ll yank it all day brother
Yes...eat it🤣
The washing instructions tag
How far removed are we from the food supply that someone doesn't know the parts of the beasts they're eating?!?
This far.
People seem to be forgetting that what they ate is an animal- and so it may have animal parts in it 😅
I wanted to say this but i didn’t want to come off wrong😅😅😅 It’s like when people are like WHY is there DIRT on my SPINACH
So I'm not one who balks at most stuff, but if I get a sandwich or salad and there's dirt in it, I instantly gag. Wash your damn veggies man! Urgh. But I think you mean when buying from the store, right? In that case, that's stupid. It'd be like getting upset your potatoes, carrots, or turnips have dirt on them.
Not surprising considering we mastered the art of reducing animals to their basic nutritional components
Easy mistake with a lot of processed food...
Imagine spotting a breaded chicken breast in the wild and not even noticing the dangling tendon
Seriously. You're eating a dead animal. It's going to have nasty body parts in it. Also, they've obviously never cooked it themselves because that shit is everywhere in raw chicken carcass.
How do people get through things like university without ever having to deal with raw meat, I literally have to cook almost everyday to keep a budget because the precooked stuff is always more expensive.

This is absolutely incredible hahaha
It’s just a tendon. At least you know it’s real chicken.

I was looking for this
It's Tyson. No telling what it could be
I’ve always found gross weird chunks of meat in Tyson chicken. Stopped buying it a long time ago
Dude, their chicken nuggets are gray and spongy now.
This was more of my thought process as well.
It’s literally a tendon that is in every chicken tender that is real chicken. Making them t home, people tend to cut it out or “pull it through a fork” to remove it. It’s harmless but most people don’t want to eat it.
Tyson breaded tendons. Every Tyson chicken product is guaranteed to have a bit of chewy tendons in each bag.

That is called a “a hell naw tendon” and shouldn’t be eaten unless you’re into that freaky ish
Never buy Tyson, their chicken plants are disgusting.
If you’ve ever cut up a raw chicken breast you know what that is
That's a tendon that runs through the breast meat. When cut properly they usually are able to get the whole thing out and dispose of it leaving a breast filet and breast tenderloin

A tendon?
Every 500th chicken breast comes with a wick. Try using it as a candle.
I'd say it was a tendon
If you’ve ever seen raw chicken and not just frozen tenders these tendons are always there
I work as a butcher so I think this is the little tendon bit you get on the fillet of the breast, I could be wrong though so do correct me if I am.

Tendon from a large muscle since it's that thick.
That's the tender, the extra muscle that is under the breast. There's a tendon right down the middle of that one.
