Do Folks Really Eat These

[ASA335]

Short answer is yes.

As several others have said, use them when making a stock. Gives a lovely texture and color.

Never any other way. Seems like too much effort for little return.

You must have never eaten the Roadkill at Texas Roadhouse or properly prepared fried rabbit or squirrel with good gravy. taters and hot biscuits.
Back during the Great Depression rabbits and squirrels were for the most part our beef.

No squirrel, but lots of rabbit; grandparents raised them for meet and pelts. Living and working in Asia, I've consumed some interesting fare, including rat. Had to impress a gal in Thailand.

I buy them for my dog. Loaded with glucosamine, great for their joints.

Please explain how you prepare them.

Don't know about chicken feet in general, but I most certainly would not eat those. The expiration date was 2 years ago.

Picky, picky, picky.....


NO, I am not gonna eat chicken feet. I've seen where they walk around!

Never had them, but I'd try them at least once............if something tastes good I'm not picky about what it is, looks like, or the texture of it.

Who doesn't eat them? LOL

Apparently plenty of folks.

Both of us here have eaten before, not my first choice.

I used to eat chicken heart stew and and soup as a kid. I thought that was the most inedible part of a chicken that people ate. Until now.

I always thought they were ground up into the paste that makes chicken McNuggets.

Urban myth. Tyson makes McNuggets from breast meat.

I knew a Chinese guy who loved fish heads and chicken feet.

Makes one of the best Greek egg/lemon soups out there. Cut the nails before you boil. My mom made this for my wife when she got pregnant. When we married she was a vegetarian. When she got pregnant her body DEMANDED meat. This was the first step. She never knew what was inside the soup.

If I see some at a restaurant I'll try some. Just like I did with gizzards and rocky mtn oysters. Like them a lot. Only when I ate the oysters My girlfriend wouldn't kiss Me.

I have some Nutria stories I may relate some day if I am ever in the mood.

After living in Louisiana, southern china and traveling all over Europe, there is not too much I haven't tried. Curious item on the menu in uk was 'spotted dick'. Asked and got some. It was a nice pastry roll. Pretty good. My take from china was 'nothing's off the menu'. Pretty much they will eat anything. Kinda like Cajuns.
