As a backyard chef, I am just curious---do bambooballot-fed chickens have a longer cooking time? nt

1. Longer but lower temp or they burn from inside out.

[Champp]

2. DU demands a poll so we can vote on this question

The RepubliQon National Kommittee (RNK) has demanded that they exclusively tally the results.

[Glamrock]

3. My question is

Does the partisanship of the ballot feed affect the flavor?

[Atticus]

5. Lots of people---great Americans---say the GOP-ballot fed birds are bitter and distasteful while the

Demobirds have a sort of smooth earthy---ha-ha! What was the question?

[Glamrock]

6. That was my assumption

[CurtEastPoint]

4. Only above 5000 ft elevation while using Celsius scale. In summer.

[soothsayer]

7. Yeah but you save prep time because they're already stuffed

[stevil]

8. Yes. Just when you think they are done....

Someone puts them back on the grill for a few months.

[Submariner]

9. If Organic Un-Caged Free Range Chickens are used, then definitely

because all the exercise they get running around the pasture converts those strong muscles (tough meat) that takes longer to roast.

10. I hear they are best served scorched.

I feel like a dick for typing that.

11. The funny thing about bamboo ballots

The Chinese just put their own spacecraft on Mars. At home they manufacture everything from plastics to metals to semiconductors. Environment aside, their dams and bridges are wonders.

So you would think that if they were going to make ballots for stuffing in chickens or running through computers, they could make the right sort of paper. Or buy the same fucking paper from the same tucking suppliers used in Arizona.

The Chinese and Russians are laughing themselves silly over how easy it’s been to destroy America.

12. Lounge

[lame54]

13. Taste like panda

[tanyev]

14. If you put them on a bamboo skewer are they still kosher?

[electric_blue68]

15. I want to know 1) do they taste different, and...

2) are they toxic to eat?

16. Please, no more threads about chicken.

Please, no more threads about chicken.


I am trying to keep a sense of humor about this, so please bear with me.

I have instructed the moderators to lock new threads about chicken. If you must discuss chicken -- and, yes, I understand it is a *vitally* important topic in which you all have an intense interest -- please do so in one of the threads that was opened previously. Here's a good one:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=3496148

Go post in there. Or post here.

I think that some of you are well aware that the discussions about chicken are not about chicken at all. The purpose of these threads is to dig up an old flame war and wave it in the faces of certain people, because you want to get under their skin. To their credit, those people have not taken the bait. But we really think that a dozen threads on a topic specifically intended to bait people is really enough.

But now we are in a completely idiotic death-spiral of enforcement and boundaries-testing. The mods lock a thread, and then three spring up. And so the purpose of starting threads about chicken is no longer about tweaking a few of your fellow DUers, it's now about tweaking the moderators.

And then I get incredulous emails from people who are shocked, shocked that discussion of chicken -- chicken fercryinoutloud -- is not allowed. As if the discussion of chicken is something that is vitally important and that everyone is really interested in.

So please, if you really need to discuss chicken, do it in one of the threads that is already open on the subject. But please stop posting new threads about chicken or turkey or whatever. I know it's really fun to tweak people, especially when those people are the moderators, but I think it's time to find to something else fun to do.

Thank you for your understanding.
