Why I don't eat meat on the bone...

[wednes]

People find it a peculiar quirk of mine...I eat chicken, beef, pretty much all your major meats. But I will NOT sink my teeth into an animal and tear the flesh from the bone with my teeth. I mean, ew. Mostly, I prefer meats that have been processed into ground meat, or perhaps a boneless, skinless breast. I guess I just don't like to be confronted with the reality of what I'm actually eating, even though I know intellectually what it is.

There is a scene in the movie Serial Mom that kind of illustrates my distaste for eating, particularly chicken or ribs, off the bone. But then, I found the perfect gif to illustrate my point.

And here it is:

Psst. It's from Night of the Living Dead.

I'm worse than that

Not only do the bones squick me, but the texture of muscle is ookey to me--so, with the weird exception of bacon, and sometimes thinly sliced ham on a sandwich,I can only enjoy meat that's been ground beyond recognition.
