Would you eat pink chicken? I mean roast chicken which looks pink? We were presented with this at lunch today at school. I queried it and was told by one cook that it had been probed and checked as being up to 86 degrees. (They cook chicken portions and then slice them.)
Now I accept that the meat was only pink on the outside but it just didn't look nice.
Later, the main chef told me that he had cooked the bacon for breakfast in trays and left the fat in the tray to flavour the chicken. The bacon colour had impregnated the meat.
Our chef is very good, but this was a step too far for me.
Pink chicken - no thanks.

Even with the chef's assurances I'd be thinking... "is this safe?" and that would spoil the food for me. No point eating it if you can't enjoy it.
I suppose it didn't occur to you that the pink could have been that it was blushing, at being seen without its feathers?
I agree, pink chicken cooked in left over bacon fat.What are you a test bed for McDonalds. I take it your muslim kids weren't part of the experiment.
Steve: I agree
Ray: Oh Matron!
Marginalia: I cannot vouch for that.
