There are three things that make chicken feet so popular, he said. " They really

taste good. Believe it or not, they taste like chicken. Their texture appeals to

both Jews and Chinese because there's a gelatinous, fatty content to them.

" Then there's the fact, if you like things with bones, they've got a lot of

bones to chew around, " Sussman said.

The Jewish culture uses the feet in fricasees and as thickeners in soup, he

said.

And, " Nobody ever believes this, but in Hong Kong, during intermissions at the

cinema, chicken feet are sold by vendors that have cleaned, blanched and skinned

them, " he said. They're seasoned with something like five spice powder then

charcoal grilled.

......

But don't stop at chicken feet on your culinary tour. Sussman said if you want a

real treat, you can't beat duck feet.

Ogawa, meanwhile, says there's nothing like devouring fish " head, eyeballs,

brains - I eat all that area. It's really healthy. "
