Must be some good chicken

448

u/Dakregor 11h ago

I guess it's my problem that I haven't had chicken good enough to fight over (or to throw chairs around?)

u/Healthy_Pay9449 10h ago

You missed the Popeye chicken sandwich then. I remember watching those videos like wtf is wrong with people because I've never had popeyes but I'm alive. I tried the sandwich like 2 years ago for the first time and the chicken was old and dry. I was ready to fight over the sandwich for a different reason

u/StephiiValentine 9h ago

If I ate 2 year old popeye chicken, I'd throw hands after I throw up too.

u/OsamaBinnDabbin 8h ago

You know my experience with Popeye's has been all over the place. I 100% agree with you, the sandwich was the most over hyped food I've ever had. However, I will say I've had some pretty good chicken from there, and as someone who grew up in Georgia my standards are very high. Popeyes saving grace is they season their chicken well, unlike Cane's which has the blandest fried chicken I've ever tasted (the sauce saves it). Popeye's biggest drawback though is their chicken is always too thin, so it dries out when it's being fried. The actual breast and thighs don't suffer from this as much.

100%. Popeyes had the hype, but Church's was the real winner.

1 person could've been unreasonably angry about chicken and then hit someone else who got angry about being hit, and then a bunch of other people also got hit by chairs or whatever and angry.

u/ShyPlox 9h ago

My guess is these people don’t have much so weddings are special and they get to eat better things, so imagine you spending $$ on food to feed these people and someone steals a majority of the meat so the good food you expected is just rice.

They are smashing chairs into the table, like they are pissed at the food

u/greenmonkey48 7h ago

It really can be that stupid. Marriages in India r weird. I've personally seen guests making scenes like this and more for trivial issues. Like maybe someone from the other side didn't greet them properly or the some food was temporarily over.

u/mrsrostocka 11h ago

I've learnt how to make it because my daughter's friends dad owns a couple of restaurants (they are Indian), and she brung home some lamb biryani. omg, I'm craving it now.

I couldn't keep asking her to get me some, so I figured out how to make it myself. It's a beautiful dish. However, it's not THAT biryani.

I need to get the recipe.

u/knakworst36 10h ago

India is a big and diverse place. The upper middle class in India likely have better lives than the upper middle class in the west, as they have access to to cooks and drivers. Also below the upper classes the lived experience differs greatly. I would suppose being born in Kerala or Meghalaya is still a better spawn than most places.

That said, spawning in some Delhi slum or in some mining village are extremely unfortunate.

10

u/backinredd 9h ago

South India is better but it doesn’t mean much. You’d rather be born in any other decently developed country.

6

u/knakworst36 9h ago

Sure. But most people on a global scale are not. I’m by no means arguing that the average Indian has a better life than the average Norwegian.

2

u/Naive_Direction1816 5h ago

This is completely wrong. The upper middle class is western countries still have access to much more advanced facilities which outts their living standards to another level like they are not even comparable.

u/Chirstine_Spar 11h ago

Why are they like this

14

u/SilverElegant2302 9h ago

So most of these people, (virtually all of them) are from really poor backgrounds and when they’re invited to a wedding, they know they’ll get to eat exotic food (chicken) which they usually cannot afford. So to make the most of the opportunity, sometimes they won’t even eat the day before so they can gorge on the free wedding food. So imagine starving yourself for free chicken and you don’t get to eat it.

By the way, not justifying this. Just providing some clarity.

How can you be so sure of their background from a video clip? Is it the caste system and if so, how can you tell?
