I have been that hungry,  but I didn't have any chicken feet at that time. :( I have not been that hungry since. 8)

Down here they use the feet and heads in soup.  One of the great delicacies is sucking the eyeballs out.  The same with fish eyes.

I cant even watch.

Hmmmmmmmm.....just saw Tom's last note in this thread.  Was he upset or sumpin'? ;D Almost sounded like the time I woke him up in the early 1960's using a squirt gun with ice water. Took him a block to catch me too. 8)

Just when I thought we had just about exhausted every possible facet of this subject, a new pinnacle in obtuse marketing has been achieved!  I stopped in yet another of those country town supermarkets today, The Food Outlet in Bainbridge, Ga.  I went straight to the meat case to score a big ol' slab of center-cut ham to go with our grits and eggs tonight, when I spied the ever-present package of chicken feet.  Mildly curious, I picked it up to see what their price was, just to keep abreast of market trends ya know, and I noticed that they weren't chicken feet a'tall.  They was "Chicken Paws"!! :D :D :D  I was on the phone with Tom at the time, and had been taking him on a telephonic tour of Bainbridge.  I had connected with him right after leaving Walmart, and took him to O'reilly's Auto Parts to get a new fuel pump for the sawmill, then to the gas station to fill up Linda's van, then to the little convenience store down in "the quarters" to get some cheap cigarettes.  Our final stop was the grocery store.  When I read that label to him, I thought I had injured the pore ol' boy for life!!  I was afraid I would have to drive to Jacksonville and help get him up off the floor!  Now, Tom can laugh about as hard as anybody I ever seen, and I get a kick out of making him do it whenever I can, but this time was one of the best!  This time was really special, because I didn't even have to remember anything or make anything up.  I just read those two common words, "Chicken Paws!" 8) 8) :D :D :D

DanG, that is too funny!  I wonder if the marketing term  "chicken paws" didn't originate in some asian country that relishes canines as a delicacy?  After reading your post I was inspired to google "chicken paws."   Fascinating results, try it, you will be further entertained. ;D

That ain't chicken in your chicken chow mein :D.

I've et chicken feet.  Ya gotta skin em' to get rid of the smell and batter em' real heavy and fry em' up with the legs and wings.  No meat on the feet but the legs and wings flavor up the batter.

This will end the trade war started most recently.

Well ain't that just typical of the NY Times?  They are so out of touch with reality, it is laughable!  I can go into the local P.Wiggly and buy skinless, boneless chicken breasts for less than I can buy feet!

Ya know, it would be real DanG refreshin' if we could get a President and Secretary of State who could speak plainly and honestly with our international trading partners.  These mealymouthed pantywastes we have had as long as I can remember, ain't got the ballz to speak up and tell the truth!  I don't give two hoots in Hell what the Chinese think of us!  In fact, I would greatly prefer that our tires were made in this country by American workers.  The only "downside" to losing the Chinese chickenfoot market, would be a decline in the price of dog food!  Getting back to what I was saying, it seems to me that the rest of the World would respect us a whole lot more if we didn't try to kiss every ass we can find.  The Chinese, and everybody else, would understand completely if our officials would just tell them, "Hey, I have workers that need to work, too.  I just can't do this deal this time."  HONESTY!!  Why has it become our responsibility to provide jobs for all the rest of the World, while letting our own workers go hungry? ???  Well, I have an answer to that question, but I don't want to see the chicken foot thread moved to "Restricted" or "The Woodshed."
