“Do you know the difference between broiler chicken
and Africa chicken?”
Celine suddenly asked me,
and I was struck dumb. Chicken is chicken. Should it be different?
“Yes, taste is absolutely different. Meat is much
more stronger. Chicken in Africa go around anywhere, and eat insect. But
broiler chickens are weak and taste is bad.”
Chickens in Africa are
sexy. They are nimble in their movement. They are always walking and running
around a plain. Chicks are busy with following their mama, and they grab a bite
of this and that, including dead insects on the round. They looked like they
can eat everything. The problem for me is that they are too slim; in other
words, the chicken body I can eat is small small. (I apologize if I said
something that offended vegetarians.) Also, their muscle is too strong, so meat
is tough. Their tendon is big and thick, so I was intimated to eat that part. Their
bone is also strong and solid, so even dog and cat cannot succeed in chewing,
then they refuse to eat chicken’s bone part.
I have already accustomed
myself to the broiler chicken, a domesticated fowl that is bred and raised for mass
meat production in the factory. They have fat and tender body, so I can enjoy
that chicken food. However, in both Sierra Leone and Tanzania, chicken leg has
no enough flesh, and it is hard for me to chew. While I am not familiar with
the taste of African chicken in the wild, Africans say out loud that broiler
chicken is not delicious. Factory chicken must have been raised by growth
hormone or excessive vitamin to make them grow rapidly and enlarge chicken
breast. Is it really bad for humans? How many chickens have I consumed so far?
500 chickens?
Interestingly, chicken is
the most expensive meat in Tanzania. Modest explained the reason for a long to
me. Why does it need extra efforts to tame a wild chicken? According to him,
the specific space should be needed to raise chicken, so it is harder to domesticate
them than raising cows. But while chickens lay so many eggs at one time, cow
only breed one baby and it takes several years to grow… He also explained about
red meat and white meat, which confused me which meat comes under which meat
type. White meat refers to poultry, like rabbit and chicken, and red meat
refers to cattle, cow, goose, duck, or pig. White meat is more preferable
because it there are less fat content and calories whereas red meat may cause
arthritis, hypertension or cardiovascular disease.
Is naturalism good? Growing
in the course of nature would be the best for us, chicken, and any organism. In
the U.S. major-league baseball, many star players have fell into temptation of
injecting steroid to make themselves powerful. Once they get caught, their new
records suddenly become dishonored. So, here is the broiler chicken that has a
plump voluptuous breast and thick but tender thigh. Is this good for our
health? It looks gorgeous from what you can see of it, we cannot judge by appearance.
A wild chicken in Africa has a rough skin and somewhat fierce, but it may have
much more great nutrients to us.
Well, I am looking at the
chicken leg from Africa. My teeth should be strong enough tear out its flesh. I
feel like I am also being a wild man who is holding a chicken leg with two
hands. Either chicken meat is tough or soft, chicken is chicken to me. Let’s
eat! I will become stronger.
