OK, this is... yuck: Playing chicken: No more dark meat
ATLANTA - Daniel Fletcher has found a way to transform dark meat chicken into white, a scientific advance some purists say has gone too far.
"Leave chicken alone," said Mary Raczka, who's in charge of hospitality at Mary Mac's Tea Room, a prominent Southern-style restaurant in midtown Atlanta that serves more than 500 pounds of fried chicken a week — dark and white meat.
But Fletcher, a University of Georgia poultry science professor, said his other white meat isn't designed to compete with the real thing on restaurant menus or grocery shelves. Instead, it's a filler that can be used to add protein and amino acids to something else, such as chicken nuggets.
The recipe involves adding excess water to ground-up dark meat to create a kind of meat soup, then spinning the mixture around in a tub at high speed. The centrifugal force makes the mixture settle into layers of fat, water, and extracted meat, which can be molded into breast-like patties of all-white meat.

That sounds just remarkably unappetizing. Just use the freaking dark meat. It tastes better anyway.

Also, sounds a lot like what nuggets and the like are already made of. Ecch.
That doesn't sound like it would taste good at all.
I guess that's not the point.

True, but I didn't need to see it spelled out, you know?
That reminds me, I should eat something before I go to the airport, since they're not feeding us on the plane.
Jilli's ex-roomie, very crazy.
She used to hang out a lot with a friend's BiL. We're just exceedingly happy that he didn't marry her. Though I think he claims to know her secret code.
That is fucked-up, yo.
Heh. I take it you've never seen a Survival Research Laboratories show.
