Chicken Toes
The cartoonist R.Kliban once said as a caption to a drawing showing this unnatural act: Dirty scaly chicken toes Harry puts them up his nose Kliban was an absurdist cartoonist that. I think, slightly preceded Gary Larson. At least I discovered him before Larson. Well, recently, not being able to understand the woman circulating around the new-to-me Chinese restaurant with the hot food cart, I found myself face to face with a bowl of chicken toes. They lookes like skinny chicken strips. Hah! Just what they wanted me to think! You will not be surprised that they were all bones, the way your fingers would be if you chose, in a moment of similar confusion, to gnaw on it. Imagine my surprise, sitting there with a mouthful of chicken knuckles, when I didn't know what was coming. They did not taste bad. This is the kind of situation for which God, late on the fifth day, created "sauce" and saw it was good. he texture of the small not-bone portion was odd...or at least unexpected. It was kind of...uh...well, kind of...okay, puffy. The best I can explain what I mean is with this pictu there's hardly any (*if* any) *meat* on chicken feet, and they seem to have found a way to make the skin expand so that it's more than just the thin membrane one would expect. Kinda like making cheese puffs from a smaller-than-cheese-puff piece of stuff, except that they weren't crunchy. So they were both puffy and slimy. That's quite a combination. -- Blinky T.

Mmm, chicken toes. I loves them, I do. Specially in plum sauce. My nine-year-old daughter tried them, and said that while she doesn't _hate_ them, she doesn't particularly care for them either. More for me, I says. Miche -- Electricians do it in three phases |

Please explain! I had no idea octopus had whiskers. --------------------------------------- GM: Blinky eats them all the time...!!! Anyways, here ya go, from a discussion on a local Chicago food board: www.lthforum.com Here's the special advertised on the wall (Sun Wah BBQ in Chicago): http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/4922/sunwah2zo4.jpg Here's a pic of the dish (I 've had them, *very* tasty indeed!): http://gwiv.com/SunWah82.jpg And some discussion from the thread: http://lthforum.com/bb/viewtopic.php...skers&start=30 "Q: So... who can tell me about pan-fried octopus whiskers? A: It's classic Jonglish. The second character (?) in the combination that means "tentacle" also means beard (or whiskers). The Chinese word for tentacle translates literally to "touch whiskers". The same word is used for animal antennae. It is equivalent to the english term "feelers"... Of course, what are commonly called "tentacles" on octopi, are not tentacles at all, but arms. Tentacles are actually feelers (like antennae), whereas arms are used for gripping. squid have both arms and tentacles, but octopi only have arms. It seems the Chinese also conflate the two different types of appendages..." </> |

Saw that terminology in the Asian supermarket and didn't think twice about it. Laughed when the same thing showed up on labels in a national chain. Must be using the same dictionary...or not. |

I'll never forget the episode of China Beach, where Dana and her cohorts were having a contest on who could eat the grossest Vietnamese food - one of the "dishes" was big poultry feet. I don't recall there was anything about them to eat, but there must have been. (I think Delaney fell off the bench, backwards, after her last shot of alcohol.) N. |
