I saw a thread recently with Americans discussing who washes their chicken in the sink before cooking it, which is a concept I'd literally never even heard of in Europe.
Chicken production is horrible everywhere, but in USA it is next level disgusting.
Besides the chlorine treatment, which they have to do because the production is unsanitary, they also ship the frozen chicken to China, where it's chopped up, only to be send back to USA, still frozen. Trump was angry with UK not wanting to import it.
It makes no sense that sending a frozen chemical shit chicken all over the world, should somehow be better or cheaper than simply raising a chicken in Europe and just chopping the head off.
I've been unlucky enough to stumble upon a YouTube video of a guy doing a live stream where he is going to cook fried chicken and someone commented he should wash the chicken.
He did. With dish soap.
People do all kinds of stupid stuff that they don't need to do or shouldn't do. But yes, this is one of those stupid things that some people might do in America. I've never known anyone that does this.
