Czechs love chicken. It is cheap, tasty and can be prepared in many ways. But what about the bones?
According to statistics, the average Czech eats 29 kilograms of meat per year, which is five kilograms more than in 2010. “In the past, a lot of beef was eaten, but because it became more expensive, its consumption also decreased,” says the expert, reflecting on the Czech appetite: “Now pork is the most popular, which is still reasonably priced. Poultry is closely followed, and beef and veal come third.”

The chicken leads…
Poultry meat is becoming more and more popular. Not that it’s unbelievably good, but most chains discount chicken and a lot of people take advantage of that. “I always buy whole chicken. I portion it out at home and already plan the entire menu. I usually bake the thighs, use the breasts for Chinese, and fry the wings as an appetizer. In the end, I make an excellent broth from the skeleton. And all this for only one hundred or one hundred and twenty crowns. Well, don’t buy it,” says our reader Jana from Pilsen.
Lunch and dinner once or twice
The great thing about chicken is that it’s light, healthy, and can be prepared fairly quickly. “You can boil it, stew it, bake it or fry it and it’s always delicious. In addition, if you put it in the oven, then you literally have no work to do,” says reader Jana, adding that she can never indulge in chicken meat. Well, the meat is somehow eaten, but then the question arises: What about the bones?
Bones do not belong in compost
Some people throw smaller chicken or fish bones into the compost. Are you among them? Then you are definitely making a mistake. “This is because the correct temperature is not created in the compost, which could destroy disease-causing germs from the leftover meat. After all, such leftover chicken from lunch would mean more trouble than good for you,” says the expert.
Be careful with fast food
According to hygienists, those who have animals at home have an advantage. “All you need is a cat or a dog, for whom finishing the leftover meat on the bone can be partly fun,” adds the expert. Animal owners and even veterinarians are not very enthusiastic about such a solution. Why? “Heat-treated chicken bones are more fragile and break quickly. Therefore, for some animals, they can also represent a great health risk,” says the veterinarian, adding that, for example, dogs with a “short snout” such as a pug, French bulldog or boxer should not participate in such “finishers” at all.
With a skeleton in the trash
Therefore, if you give bones to an animal to eat, you should have control over it – so that, for example, your pet does not swallow the bone or otherwise injure itself. The best solution is to turn the bones, the remains of the meat, and throw the skeleton in the trash.
