I ate chicken feet today. Well, chicken foot. I only had one — but I would eat them (it) again. I was at dim sum; the food kept coming, and I really just couldn’t eat that much.
I hate to admit that I was one of those little kids that hated vegetables. My parents still made me eat them, and I hated every minute of it. I was never one to throw fits; just a child who understood the difference between happiness and discomfort. It took a while, but I guess we all grow up at some point. And I eat vegetables almost every day. Love them. So, years later, I find myself all grown up, without any food fears.
Is that too bold of a statement? Should I be doubtful when I say something like that? I’ll try most things at least once. And I’d eat chicken feet again — I’m just not too thrilled by the act of spitting bones out while sitting at a table filled with people.
On a more appealing note, I made salted caramels this weekend. I’m slightly obsessed with the combination of sweet and salty (or just salty). I made a salted chocolate cake for a friend’s birthday this summer, which was demolished at a party; today I thought I’d just stick to the candy itself. Needless to say, I can’t stop eating them (and about twenty of them disappeared from my counter on Saturday night). They are coming to work with me. I can’t have these in my house when I’m supposed to be training for a half marathon.
The recipe was derived from David Lebovitz.

Mmmm! It looks like it is dificult to make. But I am planning to try! Are you planning to blog the salted chocolate cake too? I would love the receipe!
I adore salted caramels, yours look wonderful!
Oh my – I do so love caramel! Beautiful photo!!
When I was in China last summer I ate chicken feet as well. Surprising good but just not enough meat on them bones! ;)
The caramels were surprisingly easier than I thought they would be — have a candy thermometer ready, and read over the instructions. Prepare to watch the thermometer like a mad scientist :)
Jes – seriously, there was more bone than meat. Oh well.
OMG…I am DROOLING!! OMG…did you use sea salt with these??? SHOOT ME NOW…love it!!!
These carmels look very tasty you can't go wrong with the salty and sweet combination. Also I can't believe you ate chicken feet or well a chicken foot but how brave of you!
Chicken feet? Mmm you're braver than I am! Caramels look fab though – salty & sweet combos are the best.
Can you make these again? I mean… don't let me eat as many this time, but since we've been running so much, we may as well indulge, right? These were SO delicious…. dangerously so.
