you know the type of chicken feet that you eat at the dim sum place, or you know...it can be prepared in some other kind of way.

Is it good for you? nutritionally? is it fattening? do you know if there's any health benefits?

my mom and some of her coworkers are saying how b/c it has a lot of tendons it's good to prevent wrinkly skin. hmmmm.................

haha preventing wrinkly skin? never heard of that myth. i know it's pretty fat and cholesterol though, since it's mostly just skin. i used to love it when i was younger, but as i got older the taste of chicken sking started to make me sick an gag. can't handle it anymore. lol

Mmmmm, yummy! I can only eat so much though.

But I believe it's not good for you cause well, like you said, it's only skin that you eat.

Skin is the largest waste organ in the body<<<<<<<<<<< that there cured me of any chicken skin years ago when my husband said it while I was eating some bbq chicken. It's true.

My Irish fiance hates any bit of fat or skin on meat.... you should have seen his face when I took him to yum cha for the first time and my mum and dad started nibbling on the chicken's feet. It was years ago and he still isn't over it. heheheh. Gui-los.

Although, in saying that, its about the only thing I won't eat at yum cha... but his face was priceless!
