But is it ever true in the reverse? Ever had "it" better than frosted brownies
whilst smoking certain herbs? In fact, a *friend* told me about eating Frosted
Flakes after such smokings and I, er, she still remembers the stereo crunch.

Actually, I don't mind any of those....the word I hate to hear is
"disgusting". E.g. if I'm eating something that somebody else doesn't care
for or is afraid to try, I hate to hear "that looks disgusting". If it was
a bowl of snot, yes that would be disgusting, or even if it was edible but
stinky, it might disgust someone.

But one time, my father-in-law ate lunch at our house, and told me that the
hummus and pita bread we'd set out looked disgusting. I couldn't believe
it! He was eating a ham and cheese sandwich at the time...if you think
about what goes into the production each of those choices, I'd consider the
ham & cheese sandwich to be a lot more disgusting than the hummus and pita.

(It is disgusting to see old hummus in an open bowl in the deli case that
has kind of congealed...yuck!)

Well, I WAS talking about chicken feet! <rofl>

Honestly, they are ever ever so tasty. ;-d
Must admit tho', that pic looks a bit revolting even to me,
and I'm the one that took it! ;-D

Those lasted me about an hour or so.
I watched "Top Gun" while I ate them.

I've been eating a lot more of these lately as I can get them at Fiesta.
I bought 14 lbs. the other day and generally cook 2 lbs. at a time.
I've heard that chicken cartalige is better than commercial preparations
of joint supplements (Glucosamine and Chondroitin). I must admit my
knees feel a lot better since I've started eating more of them. :-)

Gives me an excuse!

I end up with too much chicken foot stock tho'.
Been making more soups and giving some to my housekeeper.
It freezes well but I'd rather not "stock" up on too much...
I don't have the storage space.

OMG, that's revolting to look at. I hope it tastes better than it looks.

They do. :-)
Trust me!

If you ever get up the nerve to try them...

I grew up with them so they are a "comfort food".
Otherwise, I'm not so sure I could eat them.
They really are delicious tho'.

Try a couple of beers first maybe to get up the nerve? <lol>
They have to be cooked to where they are practically falling apart and
all melty. You have a spit bowl for the little bones and claws. ;-D

I treat them with a little soy sauce and some extra salt.

Even if you toss the feet, they make a superior stock! It sets up very
hard in the 'frige and there is almost no fat. Jewish penicillin...

I pressure cook them for 40 minutes. Anything less than that and the
cartalige does not melt properly.

Not sure how long they would have to be simmered. I've never prepared
them that way.

Onions, garlic, ginger, white pepper and sometimes shallots are added
for additional flavoring, along with whatever fresh herbs I'm in the
mood for.

Sometimes I think I'm the only person in the U.S. over the age of 10 who
has NOT smoked certain herbs. I never had the urge to try since life
has always seemed weird and psychedelic enough without chemical aids.

I always felt that way, too. I finally tried it in my late 30's,
didn't get what all the hype was about, and haven't tried it since.

It never did much for me either... until the one time I got a really
strong dose and had a MAJOR panic attack! :-(

I've not touched it since, and cannot really see what it's all about
either, except as a pain killer or a very good aid for Glaucoma.

Now 'shrooms on the other hand....... <G>

But you don't smoke those.

Which reminds me of a time long ago when I was eating at a very
nice Chinese restaurant in Taipei, where among the various
dishes served was a nice platter of sweet-and-sour chicken feet.

What made that evening memorable was the fact that I was in
the company of a number of business associates, including one
rather-consistently-clueless type who was utterly unaware that
those little golden-brown, breaded nuggets contained BONES....

:-) :-) :-)

Personally, I'd never deep fry them!
They would be wayyyyy too tough to eat!

Great story tho'! ;-D
