Chicken Feet

DanG · October 09, 2008, 02:29:38 PM

I really have nothing to report about this delicacy, other than that the price is up. I just wanted to get something that sounds more appetizing than Dogberry Jam on the index page.

:D :D :D

DanG · October 09, 2008, 02:38:25 PM

Thanx. I ain't been able to enjoy a piece of toast with jam since that topic came up. :D :D

Jeff · October 09, 2008, 02:50:42 PM

DanG · October 09, 2008, 03:03:04 PM

When I lived in China, 1986, I found a chicken foot in my soup one day. Great diet plan, didn't eat the rest of the day.

At a Chinese restaurant in Seattle, discovered that chickens feet were on the menu. Ended up on my plate, because I couldn't understand what the waitress was saying...for a short while, couldn't decipher the three-pronged item I was trying to eat. :

That's gotta almost as bad as them chicken livers I saw ya consume one day

Nah...them chicken livers slid down real easy..but those three pronged things didn't slide. They's not much if any meat on 'em, and they's really should clip the nails first, I think.

I don't know who buys them but they have chicken feet in a local grocery store for about $1 a pound. As for me, I would only take them if they paid me and then they would go in the garbage.

DanG · October 17, 2008, 05:02:43 PM

A buck a pound? I otter go out to your neck of the woods and buy up a load of them. They were $2.19 here the other day!

I'll be right back, got to go to the chicken house while they is un guarded.

DanG, want to be a broker, we will have a lot of limpin chickens shortly. :D

pigman · October 17, 2008, 10:25:30 PM

I have been hungry enough to eat chicken feet and I have had chicken feet available to eat, but never at the same time. ;D

Tom · October 17, 2008, 10:31:44 PM

What do the taste like?

Gee! You couldn't aske for a better straight line.

DanG · October 17, 2008, 11:19:55 PM

They ain't too bad, if ya don't wash all the flavor off of'em.

Left Coast Chris · October 18, 2008, 01:10:50 AM

Ahh......and now a thought about what chickens stand in all day long. Great flavoring........for the COMPLETE chicken lover. :( :(

LeeB · October 18, 2008, 02:54:35 AM

Free range chikkins aint got near so much special sauce on they's feet as cooped ones.

Norm · October 18, 2008, 08:11:46 AM

We had an old hen that had lost a foot to an accident. She'd hobble around but got along just fine. Folks would come over and ask what happened. I'd explain well I love chicken feet and eggs so this was a compromise. :D

pigman · October 18, 2008, 08:44:00 AM

It was a good thing for that chicken that Patty didn't like chicken feet also.

As a kid I worked on chicken farms. The broiler kind, not the egg kind. Once, when the birds were going out, I convinced the farmer I worked for to let me take some home. What's 20 or so out of 175,000? I did, and we killed and cleaned them. All was going well until my Mom decided she just had to have some chicken feet, since she hadn't had them since she was a kid herself. So, she starts boiling them in a big pot on the stove. I want to tell you, there is no other thing I've ever smelled that smells as much like chicken poop as boiling chicken feet. She thought they were delicious. I couldn't even bear to try them.

You must've never smelled chitterlin's cookin'. Granted, they don't smell like Chicken feet, but poop comes to mind. :D

srt · October 29, 2008, 11:24:27 PM

No Tom, I haven't had the pleasure of being near chitlins (chitterlings), except to see them them frozen in a bucket in the supermarket. Kinda like the way I keep my crab bait!

I had a real interesting thing happen last night. While waiting in a friend's yard for the band practice carpool, I smelled something familiar. Since I hadn't been in our dog's pen with the shoes I was wearing, I figured I must have stepped in some of their dog's droppings. So I walked to the lit porch and checked the soles of my shoes - still clean. Yet I still could smell it, as if I was carrying it around in my shirt pocket. I walked around for a few minutes trying to get away from it, but it seemed to follow me, making me think I had it on me!

Finally, my friend came out and we got into the car. She mentioned that her Ginko tree is really stinking. I said "so is that what I've been smelling, that I thought was on the bottom of my shoe?". Yep - a female Ginko tree. Sure fooled me. Smelled just like freshly stepped in dog doo-doo!

If yer gonna boil any feet ther gonna smell like what they have been walkin in. :D

When my son enter college last year, we happen to go to the grocery store and while shopping we gandered at the meat and there THEY WERE " chicken feed" I like to fell out of my shoes. My question is:
* like Tom said.... what do they taste like..... kinda got that answer.
* how do you fix them? Again I always thought I had a pretty good imagination, but.....
The only thing I can figure is that you take and boil them then add some surejell to the juice and make toe jam!!!!

No seriously how are those things prepared?

Dan_Shade · November 03, 2008, 04:21:52 PM

i prepared some once, but I didn't cook them. after scalding, the skin and nail slips right off of the foot.

they're supposed to be high in collagen, which "they" say is good for you
