It's great to conquer fears. :) Me, I've been butchering chickens since I was a kid. My grandparents ran a chicken farm that produced 20,000 chickens every 10 or 12 weeks (or something like that), and we regularly got boxes of whole chickens from them. I learned from my mother, grandmother, and aunts how to properly dismember a chicken. At 16, visiting relatives on the other side of the family, I helped out with killing the chickens, defeathering, gutting them, and so on. That was an interesting experience. I didn't particularly enjoy it, but I'm glad I did it all the same. I have the philosophy that, if I'm going to eat meat, I better know where it comes from, how to kill it, and so on. Congrats indeed! It’s great to conquer fears. :)

My favorite line from your post is: <em>Best of all, when I removed the skin, I was the first to actually touch these breasts. Not some machine, no one else. Just me.</em> Doncha just love real food?! I’ve got a bone to pick with you ;-)

Reaching in to the cavity to remove the extra parts ... blech. I'm slowly getting over it, and realize it's mind over matter, but it ain't easy!
