Hey Grandpa What’s For Dinner?

[Oneshot1]

That’s were all the good eats go.

Had an Agent stop me one time over a Turtle. He said it was a endangered species.

I told him no it was a common Snapping Turtle. Asked me what I was going to do with it? Going to eat it.

Then he started looking through his book. He said well since I was going to eat it he would let it slide but it is illegal to catch them by hand.

I just laughed and my wife said don’t argue with him.

Come to find out he didn’t know he had just got out of school.

Having nothing better to do, I did some searching on chicken feet.  In the chicken industry they are called "paws" BTW.

The Chinese love them.  It seems incredible, but we export several hundred thousand TONS of chicken paws to China every year.

 

               I was told at the swap meet that the Chinese grind them up and make chicken nuggets in the shape of a dinosaur and send them back to american people like @fishinwrench because he likes to eat them. 🤪

I was working in a Chicken Processing plant. 
 

Germans came in checking about buying from us. Said our plant was too dirty.

Not the first on my list of desires.   I am curious how you cook and eat them? 

In the Ozarks, they are (or were) washed, then scalded and the scalding releases the skin so that it can be easily be peeled off and the nails removed. Once cleaned, the feet are boiled with the necks and then simmered until all meat is released from the bones. After meat and bones are separated, the broth can be used as very rich stock, very yellow too, or made into soup using the separated meat and whatever else you like in your chicken soup. I think there is more  "chicken flavor" in a pair of feet than in two or three whole chickens without the feet. 

I had always assumed that the feet were used in commercially  produced soups and stocks. I am surprised that they are now an export, I guess that means the "chicken flavor" broth, stock, and soups that we see in the supermarkets  must be artificial.

Most Americans would not eat meat if they ever spent a week in a kill plant and would not eat in a restaurant if they had ever  seen the kitchens up close. I worked in a poultry plant for a few months mid '60s and over the years have remodeled several cafes and restaurants, my opinion, the kill plants are cleaner than the cafes, but as gross as both are , millions of people eat the stuff out them and few get sick as a result.

And this is the REAL REASON why our food is cooked..... and served hot.
