I'm watching "Halloween Wars" on the food channel right now. The cooks are competing. One of the ingredients they were/are to use is chicken feet. I didn't know people really ate chicken feet. I think each cook fried theirs. ---- want some fried chicken feet? (talons removed) :ambivalence:

I just saw an Asian lady who cooks what her mama made when she was little and it consisted of chicken feet, brains, the sweet meats and all kinds of stuff we throw away lol. When you are poor you learn to get your nutrition however you can. Most boil them first to soften them then fry them up. Guess it is real tendony *gag* lol.

When we were in China town (san fran) we went to a chinese resturant and they would come around with different dishes and you would pick from them. Whenever they would come by with the chicken feet my daughters would make such funny faces that I think they kept coming to our table just to see their faces. We all had a good laugh. No one tried them and my DH tries almost anything.

Yeah, Other cultures cook/eat them. These were groups from the USA . Also, it was called Halloween but it didn't look like anything 'Halloweeny'.

Yes Christina! Tonight I'm watching a thing about Hungarian cooking. MMMMMMM....how about some pureed pig placenta or rooster testicals or fried penis? Then for desert you can have tobacco ice cream topped with duck tongue. Placenta & all sorts of organ meat is very nutritous(sp).

I haven't had liver in a long time (I used to have it at home but John doesn't like it). However each bite "has" to have sauteed onions as far as I'm concerned. That reminds me... When fixing the T-giving turkey, I make a snack of sauteed turkey liver & heart (the gizzard is too stringy & heavy (what word am I looking for?) though).

Lor, I always use the giblets in my stuffing. the neck is tricky cause those bones are so soft & have to make sure they don't end up in the mix.

I'm grossing out over some of these cultural things people eat!

couldn't pay me to eat liver & onions!

Love the liver, onions and bacon!!! Since we don't get our meat from the farm anymore we don't get liver.

Its dinner time, but I seem to have lost my taste for food. lol lol I don't eat them, but I have seen pickled pigs feet in a gal. jar. now that grosses me out. The pickled boiled eggs do the same. All those other things sound kinda gross, but as Christina said if one gets hyngry enough you'll eat what ever you can find.

I do use the choice parts of the giblets for dressing and gravey. I can eat a little of that, but only on Thanksgiving. As for the liver, now and again I will eat the liver smothered in onions. That is, if someone else cooks it and I don't have to look at it before hand.

Think I'll have a turkey sandwich. Jo

Oh yeah, Did you ever see or have tongue (beef). All the taste buds can make you "eekk". We had tongue once & awhile when I was little.
