Raw chicken breast crawls off restaurant table in horrifying video

The terrifying moment when a piece of raw chicken appears to come back to life on a restaurant table has been caught on video.

Footage shows a plate of raw meat on a restaurant table, including a piece of chicken that begins to twitch.

After hoisting itself upward, the carcass yanks itself off the diner’s plate as a terrified onlooker can be heard screaming.

People posted comments suggesting the movements were caused by nerve endings that had not yet died.

One person said “usually because the meat is so fresh the muscles can still move,” while a second added, “it was so fresh that some of the muscles are still firing off signals.” https://nypost.com/2019/07/25/raw-chicken-breast-crawls-off-restaurant-table-in-horrifying-video/

That's the real question. I wanted to see the chef reach down, grab that piece, throw it on the grill, and then serve it. (Yeah, I know, once it's been on the floor...)

and remove the servos and radio; why not?

I'm not claiming it's fake. I just can allow myself to believe it's real. If I saw it in real life I might not eat any chicken ever again. ...cooked or otherwise.

of an Asian couple (not sure which country.) There was a long line at the reception. On one table was a really big fish that everyone seemed to be delighted with. At one point, the catering staff took the big fish away even though it was only half eaten. My dad asked the person in front why they did that. The man replied, "Oh, the fish died."

According to Snopes:


What's True

This video appears genuine and shows a freshly cut piece of raw meat spasming.

What's Undetermined

While it's not entirely clear what type of meat this video shows, it is likely frog, not chicken.

I watched this thing boil for 4 hours trying to tenderize the flesh, and during the first 3 hours the carcass writhed in the pot of boiling water non-stop. It was creepy, but real.

When we tried to eat it, it was as bad as the beaver tail he cooked a week earlier. It was like chewing rubber. Couldn't break your teeth through it, and my jaws got tired trying.

That chicken is probably loaded with hormones!

May you never eat chicken again.
