Chicken feet to eat?

[chickencoop31320]

I see chicken feet for sale all the time at the local grocery store and all I can think about is the sticky, greenish cecal poos my chickens somehow always step in just before they try to sit on me!!! ICK!!!
Pig feet gross me out too... All that POO!!!

Ilove the chicken feet at dim sum! All spicy and flavored. Not much meat on them, but they are GOOD.

Do you nibble around the toes and just eat the cartiladge (sp?)? or do you eat the whole thing? I have had stock made with them, but never ate feet. I can't understand why eat something that just doesn't have any meat on it.

That's what I was wondering too! Is there a little chicken-foot skeleton left when you're done? And do they still have the toenails on?

I think you just suck on them and get the juice and stuff out. Can't get myself to try it (poop ewww

) but I've seen Andrew Zimmern eat them on Bizarre Foods.

Yes you plop the foot in your mouth, get all the squishey taste stuff off and spit out the bones.

Its not a food you eat on a date

Also its a food many caucasions have issues with (texture) Good thing I'm a mixed breed!

I just have to say that I LOVE a lot of different types of food, but when it comes to eating intestines, brains, feet, or certain organs (family thread, keep it proper) I just can't do it. I don't know if it's a racial thing or not. I think it's all about how & where you were brought up. I can't say it's wrong for someone else to eat them... I just hate the thought of ME ever eating them LOL
P.S. I don't think I could ever eat bugs either even though I have been told I ate grasshoppers as a kid.

chicken feet are the third best part of the chicken. waht you do is you can either peel the meat off and throw away the bones or if youre not a preppy eater(no offense)you just put the whole foot in youre mouth,suck on it to get the meat,and spit out the bone. BTW Don knows some good food.

Me and you both... the very thought!... *shudders*

Actually, since I've gotten my flock, I kind of have a hard time eating any chicken at all now, honestly.

I can see how the feet would make a great tasting thick broth... BUT... the feet had better be removed before the broth or any food made with the broth is served to me. I don't want to see feet on my table.
