Dim Sum

The kids and I went to Dim Sum again. They were bugging me about it and we were in the area to get haircuts. DJ recognized the store and that was it. We had to go.

DJ wanted some chicken feet but I don't think it was because he really likes chicken feet. I think he was up for a challenge for the shock value. So, yes, he had to eat them all.

If you haven't had them they are in a spicy sauce that takes away any chicken or feet flavor. They are stewed so that the skin and connective tissues are pretty much mushy. You take a bite, work out the bones with your tongue, and eat the rest. The bones are tiny little things. It's one of those dishes that started as a way to use the whole animal and now is a kind of delicacy.
