I used to work on a ferry and the galley was manned almost exclusively by Chinese cooks. When they made their own meals they used chicken feet a lot. They would deliberately manipulate them to make the claws grasp at the newest waitresses to make them run and shriek. I don't know if I could do this, but those guys made some incredibly good food!Karennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939462579252426448.post-79457063859425084122011-11-23T20:03:10.510-08:002011-11-23T20:03:10.510-08:00I'd be more amazing if I hadn't almost fai...I'd be more amazing if I hadn't almost fainted three times during the process ;).Farmer's City Wifehttp://www.citywifecountrylife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939462579252426448.post-20023651406221891282011-11-23T19:43:05.212-08:002011-11-23T19:43:05.212-08:00Our local grocery has chicken feet , and I tell yo...Our local grocery has chicken feet , and I tell you my experience was similar but fleshy pink feet are better than those black feet ick.
