I think he said there were seven entrees, one was breaded and unrecognizable. His Chinese friend assured his he would like that dish. Well-a what a great surprise when he bit into it and out popped chicken feet, claws and all. Good thing he has a sense of humor.

My mum loves the stuff in fact but to me it just seems gross to see her sucking away and biting down and all. At feet. <br />But I suppose it's an acquired taste. I do like the sauce - really good if it's done well.
