So does this mean Im not a member of the gourmet subculture? I grew up prefering dark meat, but my tastes changed as I got older. And quite frankly, legs just gross me out. All that sinew and whatever else its called on the leg. Ick. I dont eat red meat either, so maybe that has something to do with it. ← As Archie Bunker famously said, "I don't eat chicken legs, do you know where that chicken's been walking"? I have to say, I'm a dark meat man myself. This thread's moved on to chicken livers, and I believe that some people don't like dark meat (especially thighs) because they have a hint of liver flavor. I love it and I like the inexpensiveness and the forgiving nature of the dark meat. Overcook it some, no worries! ← Heartily agree with you DTBarton (and w/Fat Guy)...I have never been able to understand why so many people (here in the U.S.) shun dark meat, especially as I consider it tastier, and as you point out, almost always moister. Gotta love that liver taste! Jeff
