Chicken in Coconut's Gravy๐Ÿ˜Š

Hellow Steemit Fellows๐Ÿ˜‰

Being born and brought up in Aceh, Chicken Head is something unfamiliar for us to consume. I remember that when My Dad kill the chicken by cut its throat where the big vein exists. I used to have a job as the helper to hold the chicken. My Mom would seperated the head and threw it away. Even if we bought a chicken meat from the market, No Head at all.

Getting Married and move away from my hometown to South East Tangerang, Banten (was West Java), I found out that people there consume the head or cook it for many recipes too. Chicken's soup is the most familiar one. I always ask the vegetable seller who also sells chicken meat and fishes to seperates the chicken head for me๐Ÿ˜Š I don't use it.

My FIL was doing the shopping last week, He bought half of the chicken including the head and I keep it๐Ÿ˜Š. I want to know, who will eat it. I made a simply cook. Put all kind of spices I have like nutmeg,candlenut,coriander,pepper,cumin,cardamom, roasted coconut's flake, chilli, turmeric, ginger, garlic and shallot, cinnamon,clove, star anise,bayleaf and coconut milk, with kaffir lime leaf and lemongrass too.

Stir-fry all the mashed seasoning (chilli,pepper,garlic,ginger,shallot,turmeric,cumin,coriander,nutmeg,candlenut and roasted coconut's flake) then add bayleaf,lemongrass, cardamom, star anise, clove,cinnamon bark, kaffir lime leaf till it smell good then put in the chicken meat, pour some waters and let it till half-cooked on medium heat. Pour the coconut milk and keep stir it up until well-cooked. Arghh.. don't forget to add salt to the taste๐Ÿ˜‰.

Guess.. who ate the chicken head?

yeaahh.. My Hubby๐Ÿ˜†

I think he did it after he saw the picture I shared on facebook where all the commenters freakin out๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜€.
Yeaahh.. many friends from Aceh thought it's kinda creepy cooking ๐Ÿ˜‚ well.. you won't know the taste until you take a chance to eat it.

and this soup is today's menu for lunch๐Ÿ˜Š

Anyway, what do you think about chicken head?

Have you ever eat it? What's the best recipe for it?

Gotta do my job on steemmonsters now, if you look at cocatrice and fiendish harpy๐Ÿ˜† I don't think you want a chicken head for your meals๐Ÿ˜‚

If there was an award for the oddest cover image, @cicisaja, youโ€™d be a shoe chicken head in. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฟ I had to look a couple of times like... โ€œyup, itโ€™s a whole chicken head.โ€ Ha! Great photo.

Your husbandโ€™s dreads are frikkin greatโ€”loveโ€™em! Iโ€™d be lying if I said I didnโ€™t miss hangin out with you at triple F on Fridays. Have a great weekend, Cici!

๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Thank you @dandays๐Ÿ˜Š I was thinking of joining the food fight friday.. but it's a foodfight not freakin'friday ๐Ÿ˜Š though..I know the weirdest chicken head image on my hubby's post last year too.. (will check on it in my google photos because we shared the same phone at that time).

I dunno what stopped me to put the #fff before I changed it to palnet and food๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ™ˆ I mean it. I miss the moment I hang around the #fff kitchen too.

I love his dread hair too๐Ÿ˜Š thinking about it, I was curious about it and fallen for him after I found his picture with that hair ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ My mom told him to cut that hair before our wedding day and I stand for him to keep the dread, no matter happened at that timeโ˜บ

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย (edited)

Iโ€™m also whitelisted with them, what benefit are you referring to, if you wouldnโ€™t mind explaining? I was under the impression being whitelisted just meant you can buy yourself votes (something I havenโ€™t done), am I mistaken?

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

I think that's right @dandays.. some said that you can get 10% revenue from the vote buying value ๐Ÿ˜Š and Beside... your post will get more popular amongs the members too๐Ÿ˜Š I bought a share to upvote my post instead, whether it's sbi, upvoteshare or minnowbuilder share ๐Ÿ˜Š

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย (edited)

Well, if youโ€™re doing it, then I want in! Would you mind holding my hand for a minute and showing me how/what to do?

Just pretend Iโ€™m a German Shepherdโ€”eerily smart dogs, you just have to taalllllk... reeeeaaalllll.... slooooooww. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Is it as simple as sending Steem to their wallet or something (German Shepherd).

edit Eh, whereโ€™d you go? Steem monsters steal you from me? Iโ€™m over here anxious, awaiting this new epiphany and, like a good German Shepherd, Iโ€™m just sitting!

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

Hahaha... I never did that too @dandays ๐Ÿ˜‰ I think I should check them out soon ๐Ÿ˜† but since Im not familiar to buying vite from ocd.. I have no idea๐Ÿ˜† but I think it's just like sending some steem to the wallet with memo of the link to our post. Should've check on ocd's wallet ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Im away to take care of the garden, the cats and yess... steemmonsters on splintertalk.io ๐Ÿ˜Š to get more spt tokens too.

Oohh forgive me @nurseanne84, Im a housewife.. beside playing steemmonsters my other job is cooking๐Ÿ˜Š but Im not a chef and this is not really as delicious as it looks ๐Ÿ˜€ if you ask my hubby๐Ÿ˜Š

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

I thought it was delicious- you said so yourself. hahahaha anyway, I'll try to visit indonesia someday so I can try your food. hahahaha

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

That would be nice @nurseanne84.. you need to try it yourself to avoid a hoax ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

No chicken head. It gives me the willys. I am so picky about the meat I eat. If I can see anything that reminds me that it was once alive, I can't eat it. The chicken head fits that. Now the picture of the soup, looks amazing. If you told me there was a chicken head in it, I couldn't do it. I would be looking for grey matter and what have you.

Of you ever in a survival situation like me before due to the conflict, basic training of mountain climber and disasters.. you won't mind to eat anything available around๐Ÿ˜Š.. it's just a chicken head anyway (I don't eat it either๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜€).

Don't worry about the veggie soup๐Ÿ˜‰ it's free from animal product.. carrot,potatoe,bean, cabbage, celery,leek, ginger, onion, tomato, garlic and cinnamon๐Ÿ˜Š..ahh.. coconut oil too. So.. it's animal free๐Ÿ˜‚

If my survival depended on it, I would eat to survive. Survival changes everything. I think the soup would be fine with the chicken in it. I just couldn't know it was the head. Completely dumb I know.

With what you mention it the soup...those ingredients I can get.

Well.. last year, My Elder SIL cooked a big pot of chicken clear soup for our family gathering... her daughter in law, the prettiest one and she asked me to collect the chicken head in the pot for her... 20 heads๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ she ate everything.
