Why does everything taste like chicken?
Why does everything taste like chicken?I believe there is a conspiracy between McCormick, Astor, Goya, and the other spice producing companies. It’s they’re fault everything tastes like chicken.
If you just eat chicken, or steak, or hamburger…it has a flavor each to its own. None of them alone are all that flavorful but each is distinctly different than the other. However, once you add a little spice, some thyme, some BBQ sauce, honey mustard, nutmeg…..well now it tastes like something else completely! We’ve been conditioned to not want chicken to taste like chicken. We want it to taste like lemon, garlic, honey mustard, and BBQ. We eat so much of this coated, breaded, marinated stuff that when we do get a taste of something else that is also seasoned similarly, we automatically remark that it tastes like chicken!!
If you taught a small child that what we know as yellow was blue. And what we know as blue was red, they would learn it that way. Give that same child a hamburger but tell them it’s chicken, and that’s what they know. We’ve all been conditioned in that same way.
Think of the argument that was made in “The Matrix”. While they’re all sitting around eating this stuff that looked to me like watered down rice pudding, the characters start talking about what it tastes like. You get remarks like runny eggs, or it looks like snot. The geeky kid says it reminds him of “tasty wheat” whatever the hell that is. He goes on to ask how the machines knew what to make things taste like and maybe that’s why everything tastes like chicken because they didn’t know what chicken really tastes like.
So when things you eat taste similar to honey mustard, BBQ, lemon garlic and so on, do they really taste like chicken? How do you know that shit doesn’t taste like chicken? What if you where to batter and deep fry some shit? Dip it in some sauce? Sweet and sour shit?!? Could that possibly taste like chicken? If you coat it in anything, it just might taste like chicken.
Because really, what does chicken taste like? We don’t know and they like it that way.
