In the latest installment of the Fifty Shades series, titled Darker, readers are reacting strongly to a peculiar scene involving raw chicken. This new book offers a glimpse into the mind of Christian Grey, the enigmatic billionaire from Seattle. And honestly, it’s pretty strange.
As a woman who has been around the block, I’m aware of the Fifty Shades phenomenon—even if I’ve never cracked one open myself. I understand that these books are known for their campy and exaggerated themes, yet many women seem to enjoy them for reasons I respect. When I stumbled across excerpts shared on Twitter by editor Mark Thompson, I couldn’t help but be intrigued—though likely not for the reasons E.L. James had in mind.
What unfolds is bewildering. The line “My desire for you is unquenchable,” might make some swoon, but it’s the moment when Grey declares, “Put the chicken in the fridge,” that truly stands out.
Yes, you read that right—“PUT THE CHICKEN IN THE FRIDGE.”
Honestly, what woman wouldn’t be a tad flabbergasted by her partner prioritizing the preservation of chicken over the heat of the moment? I mean, while it’s sensible to avoid foodborne illness, this isn’t exactly the time to be frugal, Christian Grey! The idea that a billionaire would be concerned about wasting a mere $8 worth of chicken is amusing, to say the least.
The absurdity doesn’t end there. Grey’s peculiar fascination with chopping vegetables and his partner’s not-so-subtle advances add layers to this already bizarre narrative. The Twitterverse echoed similar confusion and amusement, particularly over Grey’s commitment to kitchen hygiene during what was supposed to be a passionate moment.
So, if your idea of romance involves not letting any meat go to waste or avoiding salmonella, this may be the erotic fiction for you.
