I lived in Ecuador for several years. One Sunday, I wasn't feeling well and was left at home with instructions to occasionally stir the soup simmering on the stove.

I did as I was told. I eventually stirred up the feet and heads of several chickens that had gone into the soup. Not my idea of fun, but you have to admire people who waste nothing!

Chicken feet supposedly make the best soup!

Its not just about waste....lots of those parts can make a good broth even if you strain the parts out before eating the soup.

We in the US tend to have a very repressed way about sanitizing our food by hiding all the parts which clue us in to the fact that we are eating other animals. This is generational as well. If you talk to your grandmothers or great grandmothers, most of them cook with lots of parts that we dont generally use today including heads, feet, brains, etc.

The Super KMart here sold chicken's feet.

They were good for pranks, not that I would have first-hand experience with that, no, not me, I wouldn't do anything like that.

Because the other option is to waste the parts, which is not done in countries with scarce food resources. In many parts of the US rabbit, groundhog, squirrel and other "small game" were eaten because to not eat them would be wasting a food resource, now they're eaten less as foods have become more available and easier to obtain.

My dad keeps telling his dog that she is slacking cause she hasn't treed a groundhog for him this year.....That's just nasty! He had a young racoon that he was going to cook, I guess my complete revoltion at the idea made him give it to the dog

That is exactly the reason I don't eat hot dogs except kosher ones (and those only rarely). I have never had bologna in my life.

When we first butchered, I looked up different things so as to not waste anything. They take the heads and boil them off and use the skulls for aquariums. Lizards, spiders...probably even fish tanks. They looked kinda cool.

Here's a link to see what they look like. http://kalupus.deviantart.com/art/Chicken-Skull-129934014

Why do you think I don't eat chicken hot-dogs?
