The Hidden Claw
I had a random meal on Saturday (which I'll tell you all about when I speak to you) but it involved me accidentally eating a chicken foot (a delicacy here). One of the foulest things ever and absolutely nothing redeemable about it from what I can gather. You're probably wondering how I didn't realise it was a chicken foot but it had basically been boiled to the point where it had lost all skin pigmentation and was presented in such a way that from a distance (which I was sat from it) it looked like squid, nestled in some shredded bamboo.
I was nestled between a Chinese lady who was keen to practice
her English with me so in the midst of answering her questions, foolishly
allowed my chopsticks to lift whatever was in the nearest bowl and send on
autopilot to my mouth….. BIG MISTAKE!
On entering my mouth I soon realised I was eating rubbery
flesh, and on extracting it from my mouth saw all the cartilage etc. I
almost vommed there and then!
God I feel queasy now even thinking about it. I can't
even say the seasoning was good - it was just plain awful!
