A US based Nigerian man narrates how he surprised his Caucasian family friend by his intense mastication of Chicken bone.
He shared on his X account, @ChukwudeSy, when people were asked to share culture shocks they have experienced.
He narrated his time at a family friend’s home when he was served dinner with Chicken meat.
Coming from Nigeria, he was used to eating the meat as well as the bone so he did just that at the dinner.
However, he was not aware that Americans do not eat like that so when he was done, the little boy in the house kept staring at him in shock.
He tweeted;
“Coming from Nigeria in Africa, we chew our chicken completely, especially and including the bones, which are often soft.
So my first time in the United States as an adult, I remember having dinner at a family friend’s home. It’s time to devour the chicken in front of me and I completely innocently destroyed it with nothing left.
I didn’t know their 3-year-old son was watching me eat the chicken plus the bones, completely. I only heard “wow” from his soft voice. I turned to him and he asked “How did you do that?” with an amazed look on his face.
He had never seen anyone chew chicken bones. Something normal and natural back home.
So yes, that was a culture shock for me.”
