[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s weird to me people never had thighs growing up. None of you ever had a whole roasted chicken for dinner growing up? Is a whole roasted chicken a budget saving/economizing thing? We had them all the time. Is the no thighs a white people thing? [/quote] I don't think whole chicken is a budget thing, I think of it as a more special occasion thing. I do think popular US white people cooking was very heavy on breasts when I was growing up in the 80s/90s (low fat and quick prep?), and now thighs are "back," probably in part because people have learned more from other cuisines.[/quote] Yeah, a lot of the preferences are related to diet trends. Back in the 1980s and 1990s fat was THE enemy, so breast was in. As people learned that fat is not necessarily the enemy and embraced more diets that limit carbs more than fat, darker cuts of meat came back in.[/quote]
