You never know until you try it, right? Did you know you eat the whole foot, including the bones? I did, but tried it anyway. Forgive me for stating the obvious, but it tasted like slimy chicken skin- not the crispy fried kind- with a very unpleasant, bony surprise. The bones were pliable and spongy and had a gritty chew. The whole time I was chowing down on these feet, my palate and my brain were in a heated discussion over whether this mouth sensation was an accident to be rejected (see: eating fried chicken in the dark) or a new weirdness to be embraced. I ate the foot, but speaking to my mom later- keep in mind she is a real live Asian whom I have seen eat some weird shit over the years- she said, "Eew, even I don't eat that!" Sigh.
I'm gonna have to side with Shoko and Mr. Horse on this one. No rating, due to my Westerner's palate (who knows, it could have been some amazing chicken feet to those who don't consider it bizarre)
FYI- The gray, jelly-like items accompanying the feet are spare ribs. But not the kind enjoyed by you and I, friend.
