First time I ever went for dim sum was back in college with a group in Seattle. One guy ordered for all of us in Chinese. I said to the person beside me “oh, haha, it sounded like he said chicken feet!” Yeah - as it turned out, he DID. Evidently it’s quite the delicacy? I didn’t try them.
@Kyeh@Limewater Well, that’s a fair assessment. Combination of boiling, steaming, braising, frying, basically makes them edible. I love the quote in this recipe (and the URL!):
“There may not be any meat on the feet, but what they lack in flesh they make up for in texture and chicken-y flavor”
@Kyeh@ybmuG Skin, bone, and a little connective tissue really is almost all they are. You Just bite off a joint or two, remove the flesh inside your mouth, and spit out the bones. There’s no real meat on them.
As far as taste, I don’t know. I guess you could say they’re a little bit like getting a particularly fatty bit from a chicken thigh, but they’re stewed and, I think, pickled, so there’s more going on. I don’t think I’m making them sound very appetizing. They taste better than my description.
@Limewater@ybmuG Okay, thanks for the explanation. If I get another chance, I’ll try them, although I’m still a bit dubious. I’ll take them over cicadas or tarantulas, anyhow…
@Kyeh@Limewater@ybmuG What??? You don’t like my daughter’s recipe for tarantulas? Oh wait. She did say, “Spider no good mom. In this country we have chicken.”. LOL

Why?
@Kidsandliz
Because they came in a 2fer, grandson & gramps can have matching duck feet.
Why not
YES MORE MONSTER FEET
Wait did you call me an impulse buying maniac?
@sammydog01 I know, I feel kind of attacked.
@jdude727 I don’t think you’re insufferable. If that helps.
POPSOCKETS! SPROCKETS! DAVY CROCKETT! AWESOME!
POPSOCKETS! SPROCKETS! DAVY CROCKETT! AWESOME!
@sammydog01 well I appreciate that.
@sammydog01 lol, I skipped these.
@RiotDemon I can send you a set if you want.
@sammydog01 I appreciate it, but I’ll pass. I didn’t have a vision for any duck feet.
No. Just no.
Will this fit on my schmekel?
@Felton10 Easily.
Yes.
@Felton10 If it does my condolences
Fly away from this deal.
There’s a fine line between my grandkids thinking I’m funny or realizing that I’m just weird. I think these lie somewhere on that line.
@mehcuda67 incorrect.
This is the definitive moment where they understand.
This entire thing quacks me up
I remember reading the book I Wish that I Had Duck Feet when I was a kid. These would be a great addition to that book for children
Finally something I want to buy.
Hey @krock1, I don’t know what you were going to buy Mom, but you can never go wrong with finger duck feet.
:quack quack:
I only received one pair of duck feet…
@seeden reach out to Customer Service.
@seeden same! I sent an email
@cbilyak I’m afraid they’ll send me a pallet of duck feet
@cbilyak @seeden refunded
@seeden at least I’m not alone in this!
I’m afraid they’ll send me a pallet of duck feet
Oh great mine are coming today. Hopefully more than one pair.

@Kyeh You chose poorly. Chicken feet are delicious.
@Limewater Really??? How so? (“Tastes like chicken…”?)
@Kyeh @Limewater They’re pretty popular in South Africa as well.
@Limewater @ybmuG How are they even edible? They look like nothing but skin and bones, literally.

@Kidsandliz @Limewater @ybmuG
Does she like chicken feet?
I’m more of a breast man, myself.
