Thanks for mentioning this Bubba - I can imagine it and it sounds
good.

I worked part time in a Chinese restaurant a couple of decades ago and
the cooks would make a "private" soup that had chicken feet (heads
too) I got to try some and my recollect was that it was alright but
nothing fantastic. I'm speculating that they were put in so as not to
waste anything and also because the bones add a bit to the soup stock,
not for the flesh contribution.
