I was totally surprised to find packages of chicken feet at the local
supermarket yesterday. I had not seen them in years. I bought one. The
kid at the register was really grossed out by them.

I separated them into two packages and froze them. They make awesome
chicken soup/stock/broth all that gelatin and such.

It is nearly impossible to find any meat or poultry product here that
would not be part of the Mexican culinary culture, hence the dismay at
finding them.

You are fortunate, and like you I enjoy watching the reaction
of some of the supermarket kids at the more esoteric stuff
that I buy. The last one I had to explain was sweetbreads.
But did you mean "dismay" in the last sentence??

Sorry, you meant the "dismay" of the supermarket kid.
Yeah, I can just imagine.

Actually, I meant my own dismay that they were in a local market.

LOL! You got the quote wrong though.
It's "Danger, danger, Will Robinson"
And I always thought that Penny was cute too. heheh
She was about my age at the time.

I saw a package of chicken feet in a grocery once. It freaked me
out....looked like a package of giant spiders. heheheh

Also, long ago, I worked with an old country fellow. He liked them. His
wife would simmer them for soup broth, then he liked to sit there and gnaw
on them for a snack.

I'll bet you meant "my own ecstatic joy that they. . . ." '-)
