I had Greek chicken.

I am very cold.

When they charge you more for white meat is it increased volume? Perceived quality?

So cold. Please send me a space heater. And make me stop eating this Nestle Crunch. It's nasty.

Actually, that's the easy bit. I'll stop eating the bad chocolate bar, you guys just send me heat.

I always thought it's just plain old supply and demand....

Unless my count is off, there are as many pieces of white as dark. I can't work out if a piece of white has more volume of meat, though. I can't imagine it's considerable, but I always order dark given a choice because that's where the flavour lives.

My impression is that overall, more people prefer white meat.

ita, do you need a space heater?

dark meat has more flavor people!

yelling at no one in particular.

WORD! It's all the extra bloody parts.

Actually, is that what makes dark meat dark? I have no idea.

Most definitely. I will be doing some shopping this weekend.

I'm generally not a fan of "It's better to ask forgiveness than permission" (so much so that I kept typing it the wrong way round) but when it comes to warmth I feel tempted to risk immolation as a first round tactic.

See, if I'm warm in it walking outside, I should be warm in it sitting at my desk. It's only fair.

Dark meat has more blood vessels. Birds that fly have all dark meat. Non-flying birds have white meat - some of them can fly, but only a short distance, as not enough blood makes it to the muscles for continuous flight.

I think meat:bone might be highest for breast, though I think the price difference between breasts and thighs is more than the meat % difference.

Eta: also, white meat has a greater tendency to be dry and tasteless, but people still want it. Because they're more sure it's really chicken and not pigeon or something? I don't know.
