Chicken Bum Bum

So over the weekend I attended an event and when it was time to get down to the crux of the matter eishhh! ( I didn't wear this kiokio shoe and use my makeup and even contour for 2hrs to come here and not stuff myself with enough food biko!), I walked majestically to the buffet stand with all intentions to really 'Serve Myself' hehehe.

As I served myself the rice and mouthwatering salad, and took a bold step towards the chicken tray, I was already mentally calculating the weight in grams of each portion, only for me to point to the chosen one, and the service Lady whose job it was to do me the honours looked and said "Ahh Madam, I can't give you this one o!, it's the chicken butt and is meant for men only!" huh?

As I wasn't in the mood to argue, I asked to be served fish instead and quietly walked to my table to eat, but as I did I had a moment of recollection and my life flashed before my eyes( by life I mean food life)

So this got me thinking, who makes these rules about meat parts and men?? Like who does really?

I remember growing up and my Papito would eat all the sumptuous parts of the chicken as it was meant for "men" he told us oh (igbo children can relate to this) while we the kids would battle with the part that had the most bones, they give me either the head or two legs.

See eh, I just need to know who made these rules abeg.

Did the CRC(Chicken Reforms Committee) have a meeting and decide, Oh well, the men can eat our butts and laps and gizzard and all other juicy parts, whole the women and children have the rest? Then what is it with men and Bum Bum? Even in chicken kwa? 

Did the chicken on its death bed request that its butt be served only to men, so it can rest in peace in Chicken Heaven?

Did Adam and Eve decide, you know what, let's leave you men to eat the butts ,and then this tradition was passed from generation to another till it got to my time?

Like please I'm struggling to understand some food based superstition oh!, if you know any and the explanation for it, please comment and share, I'm ever willing to learn, because if not , the next event I am at, I'm taking chicken butt, and unless I get a signed affidavit from the chicken to say otherwise, I ain't bulging on my resolve.

Meanwhile, 

On behalf of food lovers around the world, please if an event is a buffet, allow us to serve ourselves inugo? Buffet doesn't mean- come and stand and rude service girl will tell refuse to give you chicken butt. 

It means SERVE YOURSELF! 

Let me come and be going.......

I will be back with more rants as usual, this country eh, people get on my nerves all the time.

Lemme even go to chicken republic and see if they will serve me chicken butt there, at least its the republic abi? So no nepotism or segregation

Ok bye.
