I used to think there was something wrong with the way my mother cooked fried chicken because the chicken legs sometimes had a dark streak. I didn't know that was a vein (or something natural), but thought it was poop on it. I didn' want to hurt my mother's feelings, so I just told her I wasn't hungry.
