Titolo: Coscia di pollo

Quella che noi chiamamo in italiano coscia di pollo anatomicamente non è 
la coscia pollo (giusto per capirci), cosa si usa solitamente per 
tradurre coscia (come lo intendiamo comunemente) di pollo, 'drumstick' o 
'chicken drumstick'?

Credo vada bene anche 'chicken leg'.

 Credo vada bene anche 'chicken leg'.
AFAIK 'chichen leg' non corriponde all'italiano coscia, ma a coscia e 
sovraccoscia. 

 sovraccoscia.
cioè leg = drumstick + thigh 

 sovraccoscia. 
Dipende. Da quanto vedo nei supermercati, "drumstick e "chicken leg" 
sono abbastanza intercambiabili.
Sicuramente "drumstick" è la coscietta, sulla "chicken leg" c'è un po' 
di incertezza. Talvolta sulle confezioni si trova "whole chicken leg" 
proprio per specificare cos'è.

Ma "drumstick" non include la parte fra il ginocchio e il tronco,
questa parte si chiama "thigh" e "leg" comprende le due parti.
Ma io credevo che la domanda originale fosse se la traduzione
dovrebbe includere "chicken."  Di solito la parola "drumstick"
si intende come pollo, anche se c'è un gelato che si chiama
"drumstick."

 "drumstick."
Ok, grazie, è quello che chiedevo. :) 


Al supermercato, compro spesso "chicken leg quarters", "chicken drumsticks",
e "chicken thighs".

Sure, Joe, but if someone says to you:  "Do you want a drumstick?"
the first thing you're going to think of is "chicken"!!!!

I was only trying to show that we don't use the word "leg" when buying
chicken, only "leg quarter" or "drumstick'..
As far as drumstick is concerned, I think that word is more common in the
supermarket than it is at the dinner table.  When it comes to eating
chicken, "leg" is the word we use. No one has ever asked me if I wanted a
drumstick. My children always said "I want a leg! ".  "Leg or breast?",
"Dark or white?" is the choice when carving a whole chicken.

What's this one? I've never heard it.

Some people like the dark meat of the chicken (anything but the breast), and
some people prefer the white meat of the breast.
Joe from Massachusetts

 some people prefer the white meat of the breast.
Oh, right. I never knew about this dark/white distinction for the 
chicken meat. You learn something new every day, thanks.
Ora che ci penso, non l'ho mai sentito nemmeno in italiano. Facciamo 
anche noi questa distinzione?
So che pollo, coniglio, tacchino e non so cos'altro sono considerati 
carni bianche, ma dubito che c'entri qualcosa.

Pork is known here as the "other white meat", thanks to a successful PR
campaign by the pork industry.

In Israel, customers in restaurants discreetly request "white steak" when
they are in search of the forbidden fruit, "pork".
«The kibbutzniks find no need for the silly euphemisms used by greater
Israeli society, like "white meat" and "white steak." Pork, or at least the
right to raise it, serve it and eat it, is no doubt a point of pride at
Lahav today, and part of the kibbutz's national legacy.»
