Ordinary Things 6: Chicken Parts


Here in Peru, we eat almost everything our friend the chicken has to offer. My family raised chickens when I was a little girl, so I wasn't surprised by the gizzards and hearts being served with or as meals. The shocking piece for me to discover was the foot. Chicken feet are served in soup and as a street snack. Chicken feet on a skewer can be found on the street on any given night in and around my site. They are also sold on busses by vendors who bring the little paws right to your seat. I haven't tried it yet and probably never will. Sorry, spirit of adventure, I just can't do it. 

See for yourself...
