why don't you eat chicken feet?

[Grayson M]

now.. i eat them all the tiem.. hell i love them.. they are delicious and awesome :D

people (typically of non-asian origin) have some problem with eating it for whatever reason.. im just wondering what is your reasoning behind not eating it..

[coopaloop]

I can't see there being a-lot of meat on a chickens feet!!

Now pigs that's a different story.

[CSR]

The sauce is soo good, the idea of it, ew

[kilarney]

I'm asian and I don't eat it. Not enough meat and its not appealing. Is eating chicken feet an asian thing or traditon?

[Emancipated]

The Asians would eat anything. Go to any restaurent in China town and see the things on the menu. wow!

I use to eat it but not anymore. That stuff is full of disease.

[amberjill]

Toenails.

:| Dont get me started on their menu

[mrlarouc]

I mean really what is there to eat on them? I dont like scales and dont like bones. Is the meat really that good? where is it? I have always wondered what the story with them is. :|

[LuuC]

oOOOoo yummy! i love the vinegar kind and the other kind...i'm not sure what was on the other kind..i only know in Cantonese it's called fong jao.=D

[kilarney]

i only know in Cantonese it's called fong jao.=D

That actually translates to Phoenix Claw in English.

[that_staples_guy]

Yuck, I've seen them for sale at Soon Lee (chinese supermarket), disgusting. Not as disgusting as some Sri Lankan restaurants I've been to which serve intestine of mutton.

[mrmoe]

i'm sorry but if you eat chicken feet then you are able to eat just about anything.

Question for the feet eaters, have you ever been in a chicken coop?


edit: my reason for not eating it is because it's effin disgusting.

[trini]

If you ever had curry or stewed chicken feet Trinidad style then you'd be eating it all the time.

[gstylez]

we call them addidas :lol:

[Suresh]

Toenails.

rofl
:lol:

[Keelie]

probably for the same reason i dont eat chicken heads.

no really, is there even any meat there?

[radeonboy]

rofl
:lol:

Toenails are the shiznit...They are scrumcious and crunchy all in one!

It's all subjective I guess. I eat chicken feet, but I don't like eating any type of roe (cod, salmon, flying fish, etc.). I used to...but then the thought of having a thousand eggs in one bite, when they could've all been little fishes...that got to me.

Many cultures have things that other cultures may find disgusting...foie gras, sweetbreads, oysters, or even escargots can be seen as disgusting for other cultures.

[NDman]

Visualization and texture are the 2 major reasons why people dislike a certain kind of food. I started eating chicken feet before I even knew what it was when I was kid. :D It's smooth sailing aftewards.

There isn't much that I don't eat due to my imagination/visualization. But texture and smells sometimes get me

[CSR]

Yuck, I've seen them for sale at Soon Lee (chinese supermarket), disgusting. Not as disgusting as some Sri Lankan restaurants I've been to which serve intestine of mutton.

You obviously havn't been to a Chinese restauarnt... instestine from pigs, cows, chicken, rats....



Just kidding about the rats.

do u eat pork? have u seen a pig pen or whatever its called? its pretty gross..

i pretty much made this thread because i had just finished reading an article where someone was putting down chinese people because they eat chicken feet.. and they hadnt even tried it before...

[that_staples_guy]

Aaaaawww (holding stomach) I feel like barfing.

[dgmorr]

I can't see there being a-lot of meat on a chickens feet!!

Now pigs that's a different story.


It's more for the sauce, not the meat. It used to be fun playing with the tendons too when I was a kid.

[Rehii]

Which article is this?

I'm Asian and I don't like eating chicken feet because I'm not a big fan of skin. But I know loads of Asian and non-Asian people who love it. It's an acquired taste.

[Grayson M]

eat eggs much? those come out of a chicken's ass... they r also a baby chicken.

[wiggy]

now.. i eat them all the tiem.. hell i love them.. they are delicious and awesome :D

people (typically of non-asian origin) have some problem with eating it for whatever reason.. im just wondering what is your reasoning behind not eating it..

Some folks just have trouble eating something so readily identifiable.

Meatloaf, steaks and burgers don't really look like a cow and a pork chop or bacon doesn't look like a pig. Chicken feet look like .. well, they look like chicken feet.

The mental disconnect some people need to be meat eaters just ain't there. Too much "Ew factor".

[jayisthebest88]

Ill eat any part of an animal as long as it is edible and cooked adn is delicious..



who cares if it looks nasty?

[BD006]

I used to eat it when I was younger, but stopped since. Mainly because I'm lazy and hate eating things with so many bones in them, but also because you're pretty much just eating skin. Not much stuff on there. But, the sauce does taste good.

[webdoctors]

its sooo gross, my coworker brought a box and was sharing it wid all the other co-workers. When i was offered some I said No, but I was thinking You disgusting ***** (i forgot how many characters in the word chinook) , unfortunately I;m on an island (Taiwan) rite now where ppl eat it, its like french fries in Canada, i try to avoid looking at it wid my eyes but tough sometimes.

Can't ppl respect animalz, bad enough u ate it, now u gotta eat his feet too, so maybe he hopping on stumps in heaven :confused:

[QUOTE

The chicken will be dead regardless, so I don't think it will matter to it.

But, will it be more comforting for you to know the feet were wasted in the garbage instead for feeding someone?

[trusoulja2g]

Not all Asian people eat chicken feet, or fish heads, or puppies!!!! :mad:

Frankly, I think the reason that chicken feet, intestines, fish heads, etc. make up a small part of Asian cuisine is due to poverty. Everybody knows, including Asians, that these are less desireable parts of the animal. No matter where you go, chicken feet is much much cheaper than chicken breast. So poor people buy the chicken feet and make the best of it. The same applies in poor areas anywhere. For example, poor predominantly black communities in the US eat pigs feet, chitlins, etc.

[that_staples_guy]

Yeah people, quite knocking on the Asian homies, they are the bringers/manufacturers of chopsticks, William Hung, many dollar store items, Compaq Laptops and great places such as Mandarin!

[Safflon]

bones and lack of meat. I agree that the actual look of the foot creeps out alot of people.

Regarding what the inside of a chicken coop looks like... They peel off an outer epidermis when preparing chicken feet -- and they do wash the product.

[gstylez]

ever try dogs?

[mrmoe]

eat eggs much? those come out of a chicken's ass... they r also a baby chicken.

out the ass? really? i hope your parents didnt tell you that you came out of a ass.

[Absolute]

For me it's simply the though of eating Chicken's feet that turns me off of them. Just the way I was raised, I suppose, I have no idea what they taste like.

[duckdown]

thats nasty, and anyone who eats those better not ever talk to me, or breathe on me.

thats DIRTY.

I may throw up.

[Absolute]

I used to work in the Loblaw's meat department; we'd have people put in special orders for pig's feet, chicken necks, etc. There is a demand for these items out there!

[dougi3000]

I used to work in the Loblaw's meat department; we'd have people put in special orders for pig's feet, chicken necks, etc. There is a demand for these items out there!

these items are usually for soups.
pigs feet, Chicken butts, cow tails etc. stuff with not a lot of meat, or meat that is hard to get to are used in soups. MMMmmmmmmmmmmmmm......
Cow tail is Awesome.

[pothia]

The Asians would eat anything. Go to any restaurent in China town and see the things on the menu. wow!

Go to china and see the things on menu will make you say "wow WOW!!"
Animals that you don't even see on Discovery!

[wiggy]

... I just get this sad, sad picture in my head of chickens in wheelchairs.

[otaque]

I believe the practise of eating chicken feet did arise from the need not to waste food, any .... 'food'
Now, I agree it is the visuality of chicken feet that makes them 'hard to swallow' ... but think about where chicken feet and other unserved parts end up anyway. They are ground up and fed to poultry and livestock, effectively making chickens (amongst others such as cattle) cannibals. They even feed chicken litter to cattle, and cattle wastes to chickens.
To me that's a more disturbing picture.

Oh .. ever wonder where they get star-shaped chicken nuggets from and what they're made of?

[me!]

same reason I don't eat prairie oysters.

[NDman]

same reason I don't eat prairie oysters.

Now that I've never tried. I've had chicken balls though. :D And they aren't bad

The only part of a chicken that I can never be able to deal with, yes due to visuality, is the chicken butt

[Blazin_Sunfire]

... I just get this sad, sad picture in my head of chickens in wheelchairs.


LOL!!!!

[mrmoe]

Just a way to make money with scraps.
Just like the chicken ass.

jeebus

[Thundercloud]

By ass, do you mean tail? Because they are different.

Chicken feet taste good (in the forms that I've had them in), they have a different taste from fat and muscle, great with with certain sauce. They're also priced the same as other dim sum in restruants.

Chicken wing's tip has more bone and and can be easily identified as a part of a chicken, everyone still likes them...

[DJXP]

well you know the saying... you are what you eat :cheesygri

[Thundercloud]

So that makes cannibalism healthy?

[guest 03]

Personally I think the Chicken Feet look gross...

But I think that in North Amercia the equivalent would be Chicken Wings..wich I think look just as gross and also have no meat on them!
(I don't eat chicken wings either).

Also, just as gross looking is cows tongue.
My dad used to buy it when I was a kid and I'd come home and see this shrink wrapped styrofoam tray in the fridge with a huge cow's tongue on it.
You are supposed to grill that and eat it...supposed to be very good I hear.

This could be why I'm almost a vegegetarian again.

Yay! for veggie jerky!

[eelfliw]

I don't eat chicken feet for the same reason I don't eat pig anus.

[radeonboy]

If you guys who dont like Chicken Feet were stranded on a island with nothing to eat except Chicken Feet, would you guys eat it, or no? :D

[felix]

yummmmm ... chicken feet! I like the white cold ones with the vinegar sauce. I heard they're full of MSG but whatever. It's funny seeing them on Fear Factor ... pretending they're gross but they look pretty yummy to me! :cheesygri

[Bordello]

I can't get enough of chicken feet, especially the ones they have at dim sum places. Delicious stuff.


If you guys who dont like Chicken Feet were stranded on a island with nothing to eat except Chicken Feet, would you guys eat it, or no?
Heck yes, and I'd ask for seconds.

[hyperion]

Never tried them, never will. Probably because a chicken walks on them its whole life and they are dirty, thick skinned..yuck

[SCARFACEE]

can't belive you'd think its a literal saying... unless you meant it as a joke, but you never know with rfd members these days...some of them only run @ 20 watts, and they are not the econo-savers.

[gqboy1]

oh man, this thread is making my hungry!! haha.... this is the first dish I look out for when I go to dimsum!! YUM!

[tinlunlau]

i hate eating chicken feet but for some reason, i like drinking that chicken feet soup. (but i'd still take out the chicken feet before i drink it)

[runamuck]

Yuck, I've seen them for sale at Soon Lee (chinese supermarket), disgusting. Not as disgusting as some Sri Lankan restaurants I've been to which serve intestine of mutton.


its probably not a real chinese supermarket if they dont sell intestines of various animals either... checkout the packaged items at NO FRILLS...from tongues to brains to intestines to hoofs.... its all meat i guess, just a matter of what one chooses to fancy

[jayisthebest88]

Try it before judging it.!

It aint delicious, but it aint gross either....

If there was more meat, damn I would eat it all the time!

[felix]

i hate eating chicken feet but for some reason, i like drinking that chicken feet soup. (but i'd still take out the chicken feet before i drink it)
That's yummy too! My mom makes a pretty good one with ginseng and everything in it. I think it was ginseng, don't remember now it's been a while. :)

It's yummy because there is very little meat in it. As with anything the meat near the skin & bone always tastes the best. :cheesygri

[alkapone]

The only part of a chicken that I can never be able to deal with, yes due to visuality, is the chicken butt[/QUOTE]


You mean the Pope's Nose.

Chicken feet are scalded and the outer skin layer is removed. Very clean and then they are cooked. Very glutinous. My parent used to make them (Quebeckers)...I was never into these thing as I am part of the newer generation.
During the depression I bet they were very good.

Today we generally associate them with Asians who eat many parts of an animal and other species that many of us find uneatable.
If I had no other choice ..I would gladly eat them to stay alive.
I love chicken livers...gizzards...hearts....esp. chicken livers.
The idea of eating snake....tripe...eel...frogs legs doesnt appeal to me.

My fave is chicken ribs.....but man it takes a whole bunch and a long time to eat them :cheesygri

[BD006]

Try it before judging it.!

Exactly. Some of the reactions in here are pretty hilarious...

[ryan123]

so u eat chicken legs and chicken wings but u dont eat chicken feet because it's gross :?: Pig intestines are actually quite expensive if u buy them at CHina town, and i guess people should try the food first before making a comment.

Chicken feet is nothing

i'm sorry but if you eat chicken feet then you are able to eat just about anything.

Question for the feet eaters, have you ever been in a chicken coop?


edit: my reason for not eating it is because it's effin disgusting.

I believe the rest of the chicken and not just their feet are in chicken coops as well. So do you not buy chicken with the skin on it? It's not like they're not washed with the rest of the chicken...

I'm guessing it's something based more on appearance rather than a realistic concern for hygiene. If you've ever had roasted chicken or duck from Chinese BBQ restaurants, did you know those birds are cooked and cut up with their rears?

[ElvaSoShexai]

they're not delicious... they're not gross either... once in a while i eat them but usuallie i don't because it's just fat. hah

and just cause u eat chicken feet doesn't mean you eat everything...

i would NEVER eat snake... and i can't stand seeing tentacles of squid/octopus (unless it's fried and covered in batter)

and i'm sure chicken feet are more pleasing to eat than bugs

[Pete Jones]

I love 'em, and I'm not Chinese.

Actually, lots of cultures eat them. I'm Eastern European and my folks were very familiar with them. I also have a distant relative of my Wife who is Mexican and we have actually shared a big bowl of chicken feet together.

It seems be a thing against cartilage. My wife can't stand them, not because they're feet, but because she doesn't like cartilage. (she's one of these people that just picks at the meat of a chicken and leaves so much behind, there's plenty left for me. :) )

Now, if you want to talk about really nasty sounding foods:
(and I have eaten all of this stuff and have lived to tell the tale)

1. Fish heads
2. Tripe (that that's nasty!)
3. Blood Sausage. (YUM!)
4. Haggis (Also YUM!)
5. Duck's Blood Soup.

My point is, it's not just a Chinese thing.

--Pete

[alkapone]

Blood sausage....my parents used to cook (fry) this. It was ok.
I thought haggis was not considered to be very good....but I have not tried.

[alkapone]

i would NEVER eat snake... [.........]

Oh yes you would....if your survival depended upon it.....I know I would and it would prob taste just delicious :)

[me!]

Oh yes you would....if your survival depended upon it.....I know I would and it would prob taste just delicious :)

you'd even eat your best friend if you survival depended on it.

[ElvaSoShexai]

you'd even eat your best friend if you survival depended on it.

if you put it that way.. you'd probably eat parts of yourself too...

[trunkzz]

yeah, i only like the ones served in dim sum places "fung jao" the reddish kind. mmm.

[Bortman]

I'm asian and I don't eat it. Not enough meat and its not appealing. Is eating chicken feet an asian thing or traditon?

I'm of Polish, Hungarian and German decent. My parents ate chicken feet when they were kids, as they didn't have lots of money so they ate all they could to survive.

[bananaman]

Isn't chicken feet extremely high in cholesterol? I know chicken tips are bad for you and Chinese people eat them as snacks.

[trixstar]

probably for the same reason i dont eat chicken heads.

no really, is there even any meat there?

the brains are there.. tastes alright.. lol pick it out with a toothpick :D and enjoy.

[UrbanPoet]

Isn't chicken feet extremely high in cholesterol? I know chicken tips are bad for you and Chinese people eat them as snacks.

they definately are! Remember your just basically eating skin.

as for the head? Eyeballs, and brains are pure lipids in nature. So its almost like pure liquid cholesterol :-0

[davevr6]

chickens walk in their own *****...

[IceMan77]

the brains are there.. tastes alright.. lol pick it out with a toothpick :D and enjoy.

This topic just gets better and better.... :D

I personally don't like chicken feet. The sight of those freaky toenails get to me.... Yet I have no problems watching other ppl eat it. Everybody has their own preferences.

[Xtahse]

beer and wings no more!!

beer and chicken feet..
yummmm

oh dont forget intestines
pig intestines, chicken intestines
oh man so goodddddddd

so glad im born a taiwanese

[SubXO]

gawd....reading this thread makes me......hungry! :D

[Asun]

Chicken feet is quite yummy. I've had frog legs and snake meat too, but this was in Asia. The funny thing is I found some bones in snake meat, which is kinda odd. Maybe it's rat meat and the vendor was selling it as snake meat hehe..

[Truth]

I've been to my Jamaican friends house and they had jerk chicken feet. it was very good. They also cooked curry goat a few times, goat head soup at the big events (also known as Mannish water). Cow foot soup too.

My Guyanese peoples eat chicken feet, pig tail-cowfoot in their pepperpot, and of course cook up rice.

I am Vietnamese and dated a Guyanese girl for a while so, i know.

Us Vietnamese basically eat the same things Caribbean people eat but, we cook em differently. WE fry less and steam more or lightly fry.

here's some Viet food= Curry Chicken w/cassava, tripe, oxtail either curried for rice/bread or steam stewed for noodles(rice noodles), cow foot soup (different from Caribbean peoples though), chicken feet in chilie hot sauce and soy sauce, bok choy, bitter melons, okra w/beef, gingered king fish or snapper, salt fish w/garlic and onions, um..... springrolls and noodles, theres so much more. Oh yeah Vietnamese banana fritters ( i think we got this from the Flips).

Theres over 500 Vietnamese recipes www.vietnamese-recipes.com

[biosh]

There's no denying they're tasty, but I can't be bothered with all those little bones...

[Freebie_Fanatic]

Sounds tasty to tell you the truth, but cant bother with all that bones for so little meat. I usually get tired eating...lol

However if soemone was to clean it and leave only meat for eating....yumm!!

my saying actually means, if you eat ******/crappy things, then you are ******/crappy :-p

eat good quality foods & etc.

I would like to know the criteria for good quality vs crappy food and the reason behind the distinction!!

[anabeces]

chinese food = MSG.
MSG = growth stuntin' crap.

[anabeces]

been vegetarian since december and lovin' in.

meat ain't that amazing anyways.

[Anessa]

it's just really fat though and i don't need that lol.

[Muncher]

but only for dimsum and in restaurants. I wouldn't eat those in the plastic tubs you find for sale in the oriental supermarkets; they always look like they've been there forever! Chicken feet, for anyone who has ever killed their own chicken, is covered with a yellow layer of ?? - we call them socks. You dunk the feet into boiling water, then strip off this layer, so they are quite clean.

Then again, I don't eat tripe ....

All you people who think its gross ( I don't eat them but I did when I was a kid, i don't like the red sauce ) What do you think chicken "hot dogs" are made out of? They aren't going to grind up some premium chicken breast for you. They probrably use chicken ass, chicken feet, chicken neck, and anything else you wouldn't dream of eating.

[astrojax]

just the thought of chicken feet is nasty!

eeeeew, mommy there's toe nails!

[N1_EVO]

I used to not eat chicken feet aka "Fung Jeow" till this year..dunno tried it and it tasted different..but one pcs is enough...It prolly be my last resort on eating if it was on the menu @ Dim Sum, etc...

[Maximaro]

Personally, I find it quite delicious; I order any of the various types it's cooked when I go out for dim sum.

It's a matter of preference on whether you like it or not, but we always have to keep an open mind about other cultures. Sayign that it's disgusting and that you should not be associated with people who eat such things are quite naive and asinine. There are other dishes that prove to be delicacies in some cultures but are then again viewed as disgusting by others. In North America for instance, McDonald's and other fast food chains are looked as a staple or a treat while in other cultures it is just viewed as disgusting. My point is just to keep an open mind and try things before you make irrational comments.

Not all Chinese people eat puppies, hell they don't even eat puppies. In northern parts of China where protein is scarce, Chinese people eat special breeds of dog to get their protein; also it's often the lower classes who cannot afford pork or beef that eat dog meat.

oxtail is actually cow tail. most "oxtail" you find in a Caribbean restaurant or Asian eatery is actually cow tail.

I don't know why people in general call it oxtail. its really cowtail. honestly.

oxtail is good though, i mean cowtail?

I had done my best over the years to forget the gory details....just when I get out...they pull me back in. :cheesygri

Chicken ass=popes nose....sounds better.
Chicken necks are quite good....just a bit tedius to eat... tender...good flavour.

The probably use a lot of dark meat.
Think about it...most of the chicken is useable....and good. They dont use anywhere near what beef dogs might have....or bologna.
Dont know if they would use the liver...different flavour.

[NiMSo]

It's all psychological. You may think it's gross, but what about sausages, huh?

Sausages are made from miscellaneous meat that is wrapped inside intestine. Last time I checked, bodily waste flowed through the intestine... :razz:

Um, so yeah, shouldn't sausages be "ewww" too...?

But are your girl's feet braised in "special sauce"?

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW......I'm gonna throw up my lunch now..

[danfromwaterloo]

Toenails.

That's the best part. Its crunchy and tastes like farm animals.

[CodecX81]

I also do not like eating the bon-y types of chicken wings.. I just don't like little bones basically..the little claws are kinda weird too.

[Kasie1]

My grandmother (caucasian) lived all her life in Ohio, and ate chicken feet as well as the soup. You wash them reaally good and then strip the orangey, yellow layer of hide off and then you have tasty tidbits of meat. It is like headcheese. Lots of work but good! :) Kasie

[UrbanPoet]

Phenoix claws are good. EAting them gives you great virility and triumph of loctus blossum.

[consumerPI]

Would't one eat almost any other part of the Chicken before they would consider the feet? Breast, Leg, Thigh, Back, Ass, etc.

What poor peasant started this?

lol just ate itt todayyy


started eating it when i was a kid...then found out what it REALLY was then stopped eatinggg then went back lol

Can't wait for KFC to start selling buckets of chicken feet. "Toe licken good".

[AL3X]

has this thread inspired anyone to go and try some chicken feet/Phenoix claws? I only like the phenoix claws because of the sauce, can't imagine eating the feet without it. Don't be dusgusted by it, it's actually quite good.

hey .. chicken feet is so tasty.... and it's nothing compares to chicken testicles... i love them! i'm craving for them now!!

LOL poor u!

On the other hand chicken feet in the red sauce is so yummy.. and when you prepare it, you have to cut off the toenails and peel off the outer layer of the skin! The cooked result does not look as bad as some ppl have described them as.
This thread made me want to go dim sum tmr and order some!
