Yeah, that confused me. also, but apparently there's a pretty strong consensus that rabbit meat is white meat.

I always thought the white vs red meat was mostly about how much use the muscles got, but apparently some of it is from the actual type of muscle fibers there are; the slow-twitch vs fast-twitch muscles.
Which, huh. Didn't know that. But it makes sense, that it's not just the color. If it was really just color, you could take the exact same piece of meat and turn it from one to the other, just by how you prepared and treated it. And I know that no matter what you do to, say, a beefsteak, no one is going to call it white meat, even if it ends up looking white. Nor will people call chicken breast red meat even if you marinade it in something that turns it bright crimson.
So... more than just color.
On the other hand, duck breast is dark meat, because they're flyers and use those muscles, and chicken breast is usually white because they're farmed and don't fly much.
So... ?
Well, now, I'm back to being confused.

Also, apparently, you can have "dark" meat which is still not "red" meat, because of something or other I don't understand at all. Something about myoglobin levels and oxidation?
Frankly it is very confusing.


Wait, okay, Wikipedia says that the definitions for white and red meat vary depending if you go by "traditional gastronomy" categorization or by "nutritional studies" (in which all mammalian meat is red meat and all poultry and fish meat is white meat)


So maybe I'm mixing up light vs dark meat, and red vs white meat?


Or the whole thing is just a muddle.


I vote that last one.

It probably is just a muddle. lol.
I personally prefer the taste of dark meat. Like the legs and thighs of turkeys and chicken. I will eat white meat, but it's soooo dry. If I eat white meat I want some sort of sauce or gravy for it.

I think it's because I just never pay attention to what kind of meat it is lol Unless it's like chicken and beef, I usually can't

hohoho I gave like a handful to my roommate though lol You know, for safe measures. For myself.

I love meat. I am practically a carnivore. lol. I'm good at identifying different kind of foods/flavors.

You don't wanna OD on chocolate. lol. That would be really bad.

That's good! I'm the complete opposite haha My mom would ask me to sample her cooking and ask if it has too much seasoning or not, and frankly, I don't know. They all taste the same and good to me.

Ye xD

I'm kind of jealous. I wish that everything tasted good to me. I have such finicky tastes.

My sense of smell is super sensitive too.

But it's so good to have refined taste lol At least you'll know when something is expired or not.

Mine is too... but not where I can differentiate smells lol I'll smell something but won't know what it is
