Honestly depends on where I bought the chicken.

If I go to a mostly Black grocery store OR an uppity white grocery store, the chicken is kept nice and cold. It doesn't have as much of a funk. You can wash it but it's not always mandatory.

We got these themed grocery stores called "Fiesta" in Dallas. Mostly Mexicans and African immigrants....Africans buy the produce while Mexicans buy everything else. They keep their meat stored at higher temperatures because you can smell that shyt halfway across the store. Be having cow tongues, whole azz cow and goat heads, chitlins, tripe etc. Be smelling like barnyard as soon as you get within 30 ft of the meat counter.

Wash anything coming out of there.

So if somebody "washes" their body with just running water, no soap, are they clean? :jbhmm:
you ever been outside and fell... got cuts and scrapes but have running water access and no disinfectant around. would you leave dirt and whatever else on the surface of the wound or would you rinse it off until you can disinfect?

i think some of you dudes are really stuck on this idea that people are washing germs and that's it so you keep going with this disingenuous argument that presumes others are stupid when it's really much more simple. even if i had disinfectant ready i would still "clean" the wound first to clear exess blood or other contaminants on the surface. stop playing dumb out here brehs. if somebody has no soap and does a water rinse over their body they are still cleaner than they were before it. shyt is really not that complicated b

YO—

No one thinks “washing” the chicken is literally killing bacteria!!

TF?


The ppl in this thread saying this cannot be Black.

No one is that stupid.

“Washing the chicken” is just the phrasing used to describe:

/THREAD

Not to mention that this isn’t only a “Black thing”.
Asian and Hispanic cultures do this as well. Non European cultures around the globe have done this forever.

No one takes butchered meat and just throws it on/in the stove.
You are checking for FEATHERS, BONE FRAGMENTS, FAT, DRIED BLOOD, etc before you officially begin cooking.


These cacs were the main ones passing around covid in the West with their nasty ass habits and had to be TOLD to wash hands by the CDC and WHO. I don’t GAF what they think.


I’m sure I’m the only one in my office who washes my chicken and (well, me and the Hispanic dude) and we’re also the only ones who aren’t “catching a cold” or popping up with some mysterious sickness every six weeks.

Same ppl letting dogs lick their faces.

The “ppl of color” were the only ones to not get covid in our medical practice after they officially announced that covid was here.

Yea naw I’m gonna keep doing what my grandma and mom taught me. :childplease:
Tell them again....

generations from now their offspring will be asking why we wash our legs or use a rag.

Ya’ll still in here using that “bacteria” strawman even though it’s been said washing and cleaning isn’t referring to bacteria?

Oh and just throwing this out there as well, cacs also say that showering daily is unnecessary.:pachaha:
While there is no ideal frequency, experts suggest that showering several times per week is plenty for most people (unless you are grimy, sweaty, or have other reasons to shower more often). Short showers (lasting three or four minutes) with a focus on the armpits and groin may suffice.

You can get a better result and a better taste by brining your meats. Give it a bath instead of a shower.

That’s the work around if you’re worried about germs.
This is the answer and outside of smoking it is what you should do to preserve it or reduce bacteria.

As far as answering op, if you were raised by a black family you saw chicken cleaned. There is a whole process. Not just running under a sink, which actually would be pointless.

But as one poster pointed out it's not practiced at restaurants. Period. :ufdup:

yup. if you go to a quality butcher you don't have to clean off any 'gunk' because he already did it. you just proceed with cooking.

Why are you rinsing off steak?:why:

Rinsing ground beef?:why:
The cleaning ground beef thing was too strange to take a stab at. I left it alone :deadrose:

There are people who refuse to eat steak anything but well done thinking it's the same as consuming raw hamburger. :deadrose:

A lot of food superstition exists but as long as anything I consume is cooked to the safebtemp for the safe amount of time I don't care. Live and let (me) live.

I only rinse and cut off fat when I’m cooking for myself but I’ll clean with ACV & lime if I’m cooking for others so I don’t have to hear their mouths

You right, it's not that complicated. Which is why I'm confused you're committed to being wrong :mjlol:

First, you're comparing two different things. The meat we buy doesn't come with any blood on it. So it doesn't make sense to compare it to a cut or a scrape.

Second, even with your example, the tap water can help but you still need to sterilize the wound with mild soap or alcohol.

Whatever you think you're cleaning when you wash the meat, you're not. Just contaminating the area. But if you're so right, cite a study or some peer reviewed research that confirms your claim
