Gizzards - The other gristle!

"It's funny that you should mention the back end of the chicken, but certain high-end restaurants serve them and they are very expensive."

As well they should be...if people are goofy enough to order them...

Hey, if folks eat wings, why not feathers...they're about as nourishing. Getcha some good dipping sauce and man, them feathers would fly off the plate...

(and yes, I'm mostly just razzing wing eaters for the chicken eating dilettantes they are, cuz honestly, if you're gonna eat chicken, EAT chicken and quit fooling around)

Now, just out spite, I'm gonna eat a whole chicken in one sitting. I'll, ah, cook it first though...

People actually eat chicken wings and it stumps me - why?

Mostly fat, precious little meat and what there is somewhat difficult to access. I don't get the popularly of this tidbit of 'almost no chicken' that, when I'm eating real chicken meat like legs, thighs, - I simply pitch into the trash.

Frankly, when I buy whole chickens to barbecue, I'd be grateful if the wings were clipped off before I take them home.

What next are people gonna be bamboozled into thinking is a great food item?

Chicken beaks/feathers...?

I'm astonished that 'the part that went over the fence last' isn't also some wildly popular food item or will be some day.

No doubt in the future, some wily restauranteur/chef will start marketing this part of the chicken as a gourmet treat and crowds will flock to his eatery demanding this gustatorial delight. (not me)
