Chicken feet

People in the U.S. do not eat chicken feet. I'm not sure why, but for some reason our culture places poultry claws in the "things not suitable for human consumption" category. This is not the case in Peru, where chicken feet are seen as a very useable and edible part of the bird. Consequently, they're found in all manner of culinary contexts: floating in soups, sitting on the butcher's counter ready for raw sale, and lined up on grills or in frying pans just waiting to be cooked into deliciousness. And why not? Waste not, want not, right?
