When I was a little girl, I believed that poultry grew naturally in such a way that it was split evenly down its back with one half being all white meat and the other half being all dark meat. For example: I thought each bird had one dark drumstick and one white drumstick. The reason I thought this was that whenever there was a family holiday dinner and someone began to carve up the foul they would point the knife to one side and ask "Would you like white meat?" then point the knife to the other half and say "Or would you like dark meat?" When I grew up I realized they were probably pointing to specific parts like the breast or leg, but, as a kid it just looked like half and half to me.
