You could have told about your Dad...who I seem to recall was once the Egg Buyer for a major Philadelphia Supermarket chain...but I suppose his purchases did not often hatch!!

Hubby was telling about eating certain parts of a cow's head. Grams topped him: During the Great Depression, she would dress out chickens and sell them for 5 cents a piece; she fed her family a daily diet of ... chicken feet! She would wash them and boil them for hours before dipping them in batter and frying them. She said they tasted like cracklins' but I would not know... yuck. Not a connoisseur of the unknown palate. PS Stay away from chorizo... Despite my advice, my grams and hubby were having a debate as to who had poorer experiences. Hubby was telling about eating certain parts of a cow’s head.

Chicken feet for example, were always included with the purchase of soup chicken in the 30s and 40s. They could also be purchased seperately for a few cents to add to a soup. My Mom boiled them and peeled them and added them to a sparse soup for more flavor. When the doctor came to our house to treat my brother or me his payment was a large bowl of chicken soup or delicious barley soup. (sort of the barter system) That's enough of the "POOR TOUR" for today.

And it was pretty disgusting. Really, just skin and cartilage. Thanks for being a good sport. Next time, kosher deli or Horizons. Howard made me do it. And it was pretty disgusting.

Both of them being much more daring than I, sampled what can only be described in English as “fried pig rectum”. After enduring the barbs about me being a “finicky eater” and having an “unadventurous palate” I watched them eat. After eating a sampling and both turned up their noses, I asked them how it tasted and they replied: “It tastes like pig shit”. My wife added, “No matter how much they wash it and scrub it it’s probably always going to taste like pig shit.” Now there’s a life lesson for you.
