I presented my friend in London a packet of Chicken Feet on Monday. His wife was nearly sick but his dog loved them, claws and all.  At least he cannot wait until I come back again. ;D

I was going to take Chiicken feet to Scottish Rob but then I remembered he already had his own. ;D ;D ;D

Hah !!!....the dreaded chicken feet......

I share the same aversion to this gastronomical abomination, along with duck's guts !!!

To avoid culinary friction in our idyllic household, Ming eats all of the more repulsive Chinese foods when she goes out with her girl friends on Thursday nights. This way, my sanity is preserved, and her love for this sort of food is not constrained.....out of sight, out of mind.

Mind you, she gets very squeamish when I enjoy a pair of Kippers for my breakfast !!!

I remember the chicken feet ...didn't think they were half bad, just a lot of work for little sustenance .......but what the heck are kippers????

Kippers are a traditional English breakfast dish....they are split, smoked Herrings (fish) and taste very salty, oily, rancid and smoky !!!

They are supposed to be eaten with marmalade (orange jelly) but I prefer them with just bread and butter.

I dare not breathe anywhere Ming for the rest of the day...she says the Kipper smell makes her ill !!!   ;) ;)

However, not half so ill as I feel as she demolishes a dish of raw ducks guts ...... :-[ :-[ :-[

Raw?  The fact that they are duck guts is bad enough but raw?  :o

I think I'm ready to hurl now!!!

Kind of nice knowing that after two and a half months spent raising these little guys by hand nothing is going to go to waste ;D
but that whole kipper thing .....that's just gross  :o

I'm with David here, I also love Kippers. I'll eat them for Lunch though, so plenty of time to get rid of the Fish breath and the Cats following me around.

About the Chicken feet, Qing loves them .. but will not buy them at the Asian market. Because she's nice and knows I don't. I do have a strong stomach though, I wouldn't really care what she makes for herself in the Kitchen.

For fun I was going through this thread again.  What is that off white thing with the chicken feet?  A congealed Chicken turd?

Do you really want to know?  Sometimes, not knowing is better.  :P
