Speaking of Chicken Fingernails...

A popular snack here I cannot get behind: pickled chicken feet. The claws are still on them! I have issues eating animal fingernails, so sue me. You see kids here all the time gnawing on these things like beef jerky. One time I was sitting next to someone on the bus eating them. Blech.

Today was the first time I've touched one. I think it might be the last time, too. But I brought a package of these home in January to show my family and Mishka ate one! And she is the least adventurous eater in our family, so she wins.

    Jen, my thoughts EXACTLY!

    If I see anyone in Miami munching on these, I'd assume they were leftovers from a santeria ceremony

    Ew.

    I thought it was a gummy candy, you know the ones shaped like worms and stuff as a joke...

    Seriously? Pickled animal feet?

    OMG I almost threw up a little bit in my mouth. I think I would rather starve...

    I used to feed my dogs a "BARF" diet, which used chicken necks as meat. Yes, you cand special order chicken necks at the butcher shop :)

    Every so often you'd open a box and have a head that got by them staring back at you. Always weirded me out!

    I'd still do the diet if I had a good freezer...trying to manage the food with just my little fridge was too much work.

    Oh...and to answer another post while I'm here, I've never had a corn dog.

    I pulled one of those out of my soup one time. That night, I dreamed that a giant chicken claw rose from the oceanand attempted to strangle me.

    Oh my freaking gosh! I am so grossed out right now picturing someone gnawing away at that thing. Yuck! Thanks for sharing, though. I'm pretty amused by it.
