Dirty delicacy? Thai workers caught on video processing chicken feet with their teeth

By Coconuts Bangkok

 

 

A video of six workers viciously yanking the bones out of chicken feet to prepare them for sale shocked netizens and the foodies who didn’t know the story behind the delicious delicacy.

 

The video, reportedly taken at a chicken foot processing plant in Thailand, shows the shocking method that might make some people stop eating chicken feet forever.

 

“Now I have to stop eating [chicken feet]. There goes my favorite dish, chicken feet spicy salad,” a top comment said.

Something I've never eaten nor ever will eat but to see how these people are processing this, just turns my stomach... ?

Oh please please bring on the Salmonella!

The Thai version and some Northern Chinese versions of this "delicacy" is an acquired taste and certainly not one on my list of things to eat - However....if you ever get the chance to try these prepared in a sweet and sour sauce in Hong Kong, I guarantee, you will not believe what you are eating, they are fantastic. Nevertheless, I will take a pass on any Pre Chewed Thai offerings, disgusting to say the least. They must have stomachs and an immune system made of steel, raw chicken feet that have spent their lives treading in chicken shit.....I would hate to follow one of them into the toilet!

Might?  I would be more inclined to use the phrase “would definitely”!!!!

 

well that’s my daily dose of “amazing Thailand” for today.... time for a handful of prophylactic pills and a hot toddy.... and if I die, before I wake... it wasn’t SUICIDE!

Nothing personal to digger70, but I for one am truly weary of the "one I must obey" meme that keeps popping up on these forums. 

 

Are you in servitude to your woman for sex, is it extortion, or something else darker still?

 

I assume this is meant in jest but leaves me cold.

 

Marriage does not imply slavery to me.

If you embrace obeisance then you are indeed a slave.

 

Grow some b*lls guys!

easy. if you can't see the dirt... it ain't dirty. microbes? bacteria? silly to worry about. but maybe they are right! sometimes it is silly. but that it turns out to be "silly" most of the time.... they do cook it for instance.... is actually what is dangerous... because sometimes it doesn't end up being just silly... at all.

Are you one of those people who think the expression is not a joke? Check where it came from.

Bet you think 'freeze the balls off a brass monkey' is rude when it refers to the brass plate, used by the Navy, that had dimples in the surface to hold the bottom layer of iron canonballs. In cold weather the 'monkey' would shrink enough that  the canonballs would come off as they didn't shrink in the cold weather. All to do with different C of E's. 

PS.

That's not Church of England.

I try not to think when eating, yeah this is kind of gross... but when i think of all the times that i ate something i probably should not have... this doesn't phase me as much...

 

i mean if you ever ate a bowl of cereal there is probably a good chance that there were rat droppings in it or something equally as gross.

I thought the Hepatitis Bee was an insect?

A tour bus driver was driving a bus load of seniors down a highway when he was tapped on the shoulder by a little old lady.. 

 

She offered him a handful of almonds, which he gratefully munched up..

After about 15 minutes, she tapped him on the shoulder again and handed him another handful of almonds…

She repeated the gesture about five times. 

 

When she was about to hand him another batch again, he asked the little old lady, “Why don’t you eat the almonds yourself?”

“We can’t chew them because we’ve no teeth!” she replied.

The puzzled driver asks, “Why do you buy them then?”

The old lady replied, “We just love the chocolate around them…”

Nothing personal RocketDog, but many people know the origin of this phrase as created by H.Rider Haggard in the novel SHE.

It is, however, more familiar to anyone old enough to have seen the Rumpole of the Bailey on  TV ,  about his wife Hilda, in the  series by Sir John Mortimer.   "“She who must be obeyed," by Horace Rumpole character” ― John Mortimer, In Character

It is more often than not a term of endearment used by men who have a secure and enjoyable relationship with a woman. It is far more acceptable than they who refer to their partners as "wifey" or "the wife".

I have sometimes used the phrase referring to my own wife when she has asked me to do something. I just nod, say 'Yes dear" and do it in my own sweet time. There is no slavery in my marriage, just mutual cooperation. My wife cooks better than me and I make furniture better than she.

 

add.

BTW, the original video does not look like a real chicken processing facility. It is too dirty for starters. No protective clothing etc as found at CP plants and other major processors. I am more inclined to believe  it is at a restaurant or small market where the feet are then cooked for customers. 

Chicken feet are sold at Makro etc, with toe nails/claws intact and they are removed once boiled by the end user..

You aren't Thai.

I'm sure Thais would find haggis, spotted dick, black pudding, faggots, Welsh Rarebit a bit off-putting..

They certainly do not like pickled eggs, I made some a few years back, I tried to share them with the locals, they just turned their noses up at them, all my expat mates loved them. 

 

It amazes me really, considering the rank stuff that Thais are known to eat.

Tried a few odd things in my life but I couldn't even contemplate the duck egg with the long dead rancid chick inside.
