The man came and we talked for a little while and he then began to talk about his wife and how she butchers chicks and uses almost every single part of the bird.
I think the only thing that grossed me out was how the kept the blood to make 'pudding' out of it which is apparently normal for her since she is Chinese.
Yep, my wife is Vietnamese and they do the same thing. Save the blood for pudding, they eat the feet, and almost all the organs. Practically no waste at all. Glad you had a good experience with it and learned a little about a different culture. Even when I can't "get with the program" I enjoy seeing what other people do. I don't eat the blood, same reason I don't eat liver, it tastes like I got punched in the nose. When you have a good experience like that, it just reinforces what we do. If anyone has a problem with butchering a chicken, ride behind a chicken truck (which is common here with all the chicken trucks rolling through town) for a distance and see all those poor chickens crammed in there. Some you can tell are dead with their feet in the air. I'm not really what you'd call a "softy" but 'bout puts a tear in my eye whenever I see that.
