Hmm...I usually don't have a problem just using my finger and poking out that meat that gets stuck between the two bones.

However, after watching this and reading the comments, I think I may go with pulling the small bone out then proceeding with the eating with the big bone still in.

For me, the fun of eating wings is the gnawing around! And trust me, I get all the meat out.

nice technique! but that's kinda like the infomercials where they make the conventional technique look impossible. like the woman who can't fry an egg without making a huge mess or using a ton of oil. i eat chicken wings without this technique and I don't leave all that meat on the bone.

this is a great idea if you don't mind spending a full minute mashing the chicken between your fingers before you eat it. i'll stick with taking bites off the bone.

If you need a lesson you should not be eating chicken wings. I hope he doesn't get any knuckle hair in his Russian dressing.

Love turkey pepperoni. turkey bacon doesn't do it for me.

About the only "fake" substitute food that sort of works for me is a guacamole like mix with all the right additions, but using frozen peas instead of avocados. Mostly only because I always have frozen peas on hand.

@dbcurrie- your MIL stories are so entertaining! lol

I have no problem with turkey or chicken sausages or burgers as long as they aren't pretending to be beef or pork. They're fine as they are, they don't need to pretend they're something else.

Funniest mock food though - I was visiting with the inlaws and the conversation got around to the cost of food and sales and bargains and how better cuts can be cost effective and MIL said that she bought filet mignon. At which point I almost fainted. She doesn't buy cuts like that, ever. So she pulled out one of her filets and it was basically a frozen, formed compressed hockey puck of ground beef that was wrapped in a slice of bacon. I asked her if she realized it was just ground beef and not an actual beef steak, and she was well aware of what it was. "These are only a dollar a piece!" she said. "And they're really good!"

Well, let's think about this. I'd guess that it was maybe 1/6 pound of ground mystery beef. Maybe less -- maybe as little as 1/8 pound. They really were small. Plus a slice of bacon of unknown quality. It's cheap for filet (which is isn') but expensive for ground mystery beef (which it is).

As far as good, if she served it on a bun with the bacon nicely crisped on top of it, that would be fine as a burger. But if someone invited me over for steak and served me a lump of well-done burger wrapped in bacon, I think I'd be underwhelmed. Don't get me wrong - I like burgers - but a burger is not a steak.

I like daiya vegan cheese. Not nearly as much as real cheese, but I'll take what I can get. It melts and stretches and tastes good (as in, tastes like the processed cheese product normally used in grilled cheese and on pizza).

I've never tried turkey pepperoni but I've had turkey bacon and it was awful. I rarely eat bacon anyway so I opt for the real thing.

Years ago, I worked for a bakery in Colorado. The owners were very "granola" people. They used to do things like vegetarian pizzas with spelt crusts, etc. One day the owner tried a vegan mozzarella product and asked me for an opinion of it. I was really surprised! It tasted very good, downright creamy. My only critique was that next time he used it for pizza, shred it over the pie instead of cutting little rectangular bricks. The cheese did not spread. At least if it was shredded, it would have looked more like "real" mozzie. It was called Veganrella and that was the last time I ever saw the stuff. Can't find it in supermarkets or health food stores. I made a vegan dinner for a friend and wanted to use it but couldn't find it anywhere.

I do love chicken sausage - but I love it for what it is. To me, it's not a substitute for pork sausage, just another type of sausage. I love turkey burgers when they're well made (read: homemade or at Ruby Tuesday). Again, I like them for what they are and not as a sub for a beef burger.

I heart turkey pepperoni. I know its wrong, but I don't care.

I have made the mock apple pie--
The story that tends to go along with it is it was created out of a desire for a dessert but a lack of or inability to afford fruit/apples.
My grandma made it every year around the holidays for an aunt who loved when she made it back in the 50's.
It is edible, but not great, and certainly does not have an apple-like texture, just the spices.

I am also not a fan of fake food products, or food mimics. I am a pescatarian now, but I can make a meal just fine without "fake meat" of any kind. I do like tofu and such, but I don't prep it as I would meat.
