I JUST BOUGHT 10 LBS OF BEEF

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

my father ruined chicken for me.
every night: baked chicken breast, canned vegetable, pasta roni.

so now, it's raw beef(ceviche and carpaccio when i can afford), raw fish and some veg (NOT CANNED!!)
and other stuff, but i can't do chicken anymore.
i hate it.
HATE!

Oh god, my mother used to do the baked chicken thing too. I remember the horrible rubbery, dry meat swimming in fat with burnt bits of garlic on top. 

How can chicken go so WRONG?

[LMNO]

Chicken breast has to be one of the hardest cuts of meat to get right.  Srsly.

[Nast]

It's true. That's why I to this day I spare myself the grief and shame and just go for thighs or legs.

Yummmmm

I went through a long chicken-hating phase, maybe 10 years, but now I eat it again from time to time.

If you start to run out of things to do with it, you could always make hash!

This is not the hash of the 60s, oh no.
This is the enjoyably simple stewish thing my gran used to make when I was little.
Basically you base it on baked beans, then add whatever you want.
Its like a leftovers markII recipe they invented during the war.

After adding all your already cooked ingredients you put it on to stew in its own juices for about 12 hours, to let all the flavors meld together.

We usually use potatoes lamb onion and whatever else we have going to make it.
Its simple, but it tastes good and moping up the last with a slice of bread is oddly satisfying.
I think its the potatoes that really make it work, because they absorb the flavours of all the other food.
Its the same principle as Greek cooking I think, and its sort of the same style.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Sounds yummy! Basically a very dry stew?

[Aufenthatt]

Yeah, but you can make it more saucy if you like.
Its a free choice, you have the base then you make it how you like it.

Ceviche?  *fap* and yes, FISH FISH FISH.  I so need to get more of that, learn to cook it better, as I said.

My grandfather HATES any sort of fowl with a passion, and chicken chief among them.  He's never divulged WHY, but it must be related to something from his childhood.  We always make sure we have ham or beef on hand for him when we cook turkey or chicken during the holidays.

Yum!  This sounds awesome actually, and a great winter dish to boot.

also dude you can throw it in a crockpot with virtually anything.

you could even take the beans (from the hash idea) and put those in the bottom, add bbq sauce or whatever and braise meat till it falls apart and have a sort of bbq sammich.
