Doesn't that just look gross?! Awhile ago I made a roast chicken and gave my 4 year old a chicken leg and he loved it! He actually said "This is the best dinner ever!". Usually he tells me dinner is gross and he doesn't like it, even though he hasn't tried it yet. So in an effort to make him happy about dinner again I bought a whole pack of legs and stuck them in the oven. My mistake was to put some Italian dressing over them, instead of just salt and peppering them. Oh the smell! Thankfully the meat tasted normal but anything in the "juice" was just awful!
Eating it off the bone was making me sick too. Some of my repulsion is due to being pregnant, but I think the bulk of it stems from college. When it comes to handling chicken on the bone my cadaver course ruined me. Sure, it was a great experience. And lets face it, not many people get to say they dissected a human body before. But the memories of that experience flood me whenever I prepare roast chicken, or something like the grossness above.
So, did my 4 year old appreciate the drumsticks? First he made his usual "dinner is gross" comment, but he did pick it up once or twice for a bite. I couldn't make him eat more than that since I was pretty much disgusted by it myself.
