My food freaked me out yesterday

I told Antonio to buy chicken legs yesterday, so I come home and find two chicken legs in the fridge.... who buys only 2 chicken legs? Antonio later said that I never specified how many pieces of chicken legs to buy and he goes...."you said buy chicken legs, well a chicken only has two legs... I figured it was ok"

I was planning on making bbq chicken, since I found bbq sauce at a store here recently... So I went to the store and bought some more chicken legs, and some red wine.

I cam home made oven baked bbq chicken, I was very proud of myself, since it was the first time I ever baked chicken!!! I made some mashed potatoes and corn too. The food was delicious, and the wine was YUMMY!!!!

Well, while I was getting ready to start cooking, I was cleaning the chicken and the kind I bought was normal and the chicken that Antonio bought was organic, which made me happy... because organic is always nice! So I cleaned the chicken legs I bought, and I was cleaning the first chicken leg Antonio bought when I noticed there was something weird on the skin... I brought it up to my eyes so I could see what it was....

FEATHERS!!!! The chicken still had feathers on it!!!! I love chicken, I love meat in general.... but I don't like for my food to have any signs of the fact that it was once a living, breathing animal... I was really grossed/freaked out!

I think that's why I don't like fresh fish so much, if someone cooks it for me then I'll eat it, but I would never buy any kind of food that still has eyes when I buy it, plus it retains it's natural texture (scales), whereas chickens (are supposed to) come featherless, so it doesn't seem like a real chicken.... it was just gross!
