Gouging and Cutting

Sadistic song!..:wink:

Well, you brought it to mind. :stuck_out_tongue: I was appalled myself when I learned it as a youngster. :smiley: How could the French be so cruel?

However, after years as the family’s cook, I have cultivated the butcher’s mentality. My sifu, Ben Der, a professional chef, cuts up about 60 chickens a day with what he describes as a “dull knife,” the better to strengthen his wrists for Wing Chun. Bring a couple of chickens with you when you meet him, and he will demonstrate how to debone them in about five steps. :smiley:

I would also note that my sigung, Ken Chung, will not teach the knife set to anyone he deems does not have the mentality to use a knife on another person.

Sorry to have offended anyone’s delicate sensibilities. :stuck_out_tongue:

Maybe the composer of this song,one day, was left with a small bird “souvenir” on his hat or shoulder?..Or simply hated birds?..

I briefly worked as a butcher a long time ago but I used the knife on already dead animals only!!!:stuck_out_tongue: I was good at making “Roti coupe française” :wink:
