My son's widow is Chinese, and her parents grew up in Taiwan where her mother grew up on a chicken farm. They live in NJ where there is a huge Asian grocery not far away and they always buy chicken feet there to make stocks and soups.

My son tried the result and liked it, so he went out to the grocery to buy chicken feet. The staff at the store were a little disconcerted and kept asking him if he was *sure* that that was what he wanted. I guess they didn't have too many red-headed northern European types coming in asking for chicken feet.
