Thais & other SE Asians. Apparently the Chinese like them also.

Next time you are in a supermarket over here, pop round to the meat counter. Next to the Chicken breasts and Chicken drumsticks and Chicken thighs, are Chicken feet. They are also priced more expensive than breast per kg. Which surprised me.

Accidents happen.
Even bare feet.

I have to agree with you on that, unless I've missed something?

 

I once had a German Shepherd who had something in common with Chinese gourmet buffet rotary hoes: she swallowed in whole. First of all, I wouldn't eat anything that was placed in chicken manure for a while.

Especially not after I became aware of this:

However, in my hood they sell around 5 kilo of this "delicacy" everyday fried in oil not changed for a week. Enjoy your meal!

Is this a case of how Thais get revenge for inappropriate behaviours of visitors?  Just curious.

In BigC extra they are more expensive than any other chicken cuts including the breast!!

Bizzare considering it is just skin and bones!!

Was he aware that you had to kill the chicken before eating its feet

RIP.

Unless it was a pet chicken called Marlboro - and he took it out for a drag.

A delicacy for Chinese and quite tasty if cooked correctly. It was the part of the chicken that may producers used to throw away now they have made their fortunes from them.

I wonder if this is why chicken breast is soo cheap here, its like the throw away meat.

the bone / cartilage is apparently good for you....calcium I think. my Thai Mum sits there with a raw foot in her mouth while she watches TV. It looks disgusting but she loves chewing and sucking the damn thing.

She could try toe nail cuttings, just as much calcium but so much more discrete.

Poor table manners was the cause of death for this guy.

Do not gobble your food, especially if its a chicken foot, which may still have been attached to the whole Chicken

Probably not, I’m guessing there wasn’t anyone there who did First Aid in the 1970’s.

Very common in SE Asia. An excellent base for bone soup. An excellent source of collagen too

If you enjoy sucking that disgusting thingy, you can suck anything !

In ancient times, before skin care products emerged, Chinese women used to consume animal parts rich in tendon , cartilage and collagen such as chicken feet, pig skin, pig trotters, regularly to nourish their facial skin to look youthful.

Chicken parts are considered delicacy. By product is the breast which is tasteless and has no texture or taste of its own.

New Zealand used to export ‘near worthless ‘ duck’s tongue to Taiwan where it is considered a delicacy ... to this day .

Yes you missed the skin, the traditional sauce they are normally cooked in is rather nice, overall not to healthy I would guess

Luckily it's mainly a Chinese thing

Not only that, I only think about that animal walking around it's own sh!t most of it's life. Enough to turn anyone off.

Was the chicken still alive and attached to its foot?

[Grusa]

It seems to me that either there are so many chinese here, such that the numbers dying of various mishaps are statistically in line with happenings in the general population, or if not so many here, they are a singularly delicate and accident-prone lot!

Are you sure they are raw?

Raw chicken meat (I guess including the cartillage and so on in the foot) can be deadly because of Salmonella and Campylobacter bacteria.

A real delicacy according to my wife, you find them in every supermarket in China.
