What is inside a chicken?
Just wanted to share a cultural difference that caught me off guard today. I had bought a whole chicken to roast. I had done this a couple of weeks ago and there was nothing different than an American chicken. So today when I went to cook this chicken it was a real shocker. First I reached inside and pulled out the neck. I then reached in a pull out what I quickly realized were a pair of chicken feet. Interesting I thougt. I reached in to see if there was gizzard. When I pulled it out and looked at it I quickly realizd it was no gizzard. It was a chicken head. Once the shock was over Mel pointed out that Magda gives these to the cat. So in an effort to recycle I threw the claws and head out the back door. I am sure by morning that one of our many neighborhood cats will be sleeping fat and happy with a chicken head in it's tummy. Just had to share this funny little tidbit. - Karen

Or you can do like the older generation and boil the head and feet to make chicken broth as a base for their many good soups. They don't waste anything here. :-) Scott
The chicken feet are fun for kids to play with. just pull the tendon and the toes curl. Great fun.

Thanks for the updates. The only "strange" thing I note in all I read is Kathy's suggestion in the comments :-)
I am old enough to remember that funerals were often held in the home even as late as the 60's in this country. Viewing for both my grandmothers was in their front living room.
You are in our prayers.
