More chicken feet, sir?

Shelly is in the poultry business, yet had somehow managed to never eat these Chinese delicacies -- until last week, when she ate them for three consecutive meals. Known as chicken feet on the menu or chicken paws in the industry, there's really not much to eating a chicken's foot. You kind of stick it in your mouth, take a bite, chew that bite until the skin sort of disintegrates in your mouth, then spit the bones back on to your plate. Though they're fairly inoffensive, they're not exactly at the top of my favorite foods list.

Perhaps I'll serve them for dinner tonight ... it is a special day after all. Happy birthday, Shelly!
