Can anyone tell me what a chicken bum/butt is, please? Mom wanted some DRUMSTICKS, and asked me and my nephew to go and get some. Okay, no problem. Yeah right. With that innocent and sincere face he actually asked the butcher for chicken bums/butts. He wasn't sure what you call them. That butchers face. I was dumb founded. I mean really. He laughed all the way home. Mom was not impressed and now we are not suppose to go to places together. Wasn't me, though. I'm freaking innocent. I don't even eat damn chicken. Where do kids get things like that from? Will you eat chicken bums/butts?

I suppose this is what you call chicken but - Is it so?
I have never eaten this part of the chicken. I find it disgusting, even if it is a delicacy here. I have a colleague at the office that says this is his favorite part of the chicken. For me it isn't. It has too much skin for my taste. How old is your nephew that he made up this name for the chicken drumsticks?

Maybe this link will help @kepweng
A rump roast is a cut of meat from the bottom round of an animal. Though rump roast is usually considered a lower-end cut of meat...

Hi saphrina Geek terminology here for me.... I am better off as a vegan... at least they dont have bums or butts to nibble But I love chicken dishes too though I never get near to buying that one as I cannot stand them being slaughtered. Rareley though (the times that I go for chicken), my wife gets the frozen one. So we dont have much of choice. Can cook but am not aware of the one you mention

I am not sure where Kids sometimes got some ideas that would make adults go ... I am sure it's from their parents.... lol. Sometimes I ate chicken 'butts', yes it's tasty, fatty and some elders in Indonesia said that it made you lustful...

bishop nose - fried bishop nose
Hello sis! Hehe..So he mistakenly say the chicken thigh as chicken butts?? Some people do eat chicken butt. Here we called it Bishop Nose or Parson's Nose. They fry the 'chicken butt' with some tumeric and salt or the instant fried powder. Still remember I have that food when I was a kid. It is a popular food here. You might found disgusting but let me clarify its not where the sh*t comes out...no seriously, if you get a raw chicken, look at it carefully....examine it, treat it like a school science project and you will find that it is not like what others thought~(^^)

I would never eat that, I think it smells anyway. I don't take the head, neck nor feet too, guess I'm very picky. Hubby loves to eat the feet though, in soy sauce. Well kids are intelligent and pick things up everywhere, TV, neighbours, peers, whereever and they are quick to use it in their daily language, so be careful of what we say in front of kids.

Chicken butts are made clean and that part where the waste of the chicken goes out is remover before selling. It forms part of that lower bony back part of the chicken's choice cuts. I like it. In fact, i will choose it over a drumstick if they are in a serving tray. Though, after eating it i would always drink an anti-cholesterol pill because they are so fatty, but yummy though.

Hi sweetie. I think you should consider 2 anti-cholestrol pills. As i understand it, those things have loads of fat.

I ate that part and I never knew what we call it. I also didn't paid much attention that it the chicken but. 'Generally what we call it here is "chicken leg piece". People enjoy eating it. Thanks to you and your children.. have a nice day ahead.:)

Hi, Saphrina, Chicken butt is that fleshy fatty part after the chicken thigh. Most butchers cut it out though maybe that's why you are not familiar with it. Personally, I like chicken butt. I cannot explain why but I usually look for this part every time we have chicken on the table.

Hi sweetie. Well, each to their own then. I won't tell you not to eat it. But me, no thank you.

I don't eat the chicken butts at all. In fact when we chop the chicken, we will remove this part at first as we won't eat it. However, I know some people like to eat it. Probably this part is soft, smooth and without bones. But I think it is so disgusting to eat it anyway. I love China

How strange that someone said it is edible! The butt that I know about is actually very hard to cut off with a knife and is surrounded by pure fat. I can't imagine anyone eating it!

Stringing together some non existent clues I am presuming that your nephew is a good bit younger than you. Maybe drum sticks were misheard as bums ticks? After all, everyone knows that chicken's don't have drums.. As the older child it was always my fault when siblings came out with embarrassing remarks, as I was deemed to 'know better'. I could have strangled them all! That said, most of us who eat meat have at some time eaten that part- rump steak? Out of interest, during the retreat from Moscow the French cut the hides from live horses for food. The freezing temperatures cauterised their wounds so that they could still work some time before dying. Any usable blood was made onto the equivalent of UK black pudding. Ain't history fascinating? Apologies if you were about to eat when reading this!
