Yue’s Yappings

Everyone knows that the US imports a large number of goods each year from China. On the flip side, China buys high tech items such as airplanes, cars and turbines from the US.

And chicken feet. An amazing number of chicken feet. All my Chinese friends love chicken feet, and Dim Sum is simply incomplete with out them.

With a population over one billion people, China consumes 400 million chicken feet a month. Over a year, that is equal to 500 million kilograms of chicken (mostly feet and wings), 50% of which come from the US.

Maybe I’ve lived too long in the US, but I simply don’t love chicken feet like my friends. Nibbling the skin off the tiny bones in chicken feet isn’t my thing.

Now, if we’re talking pigs feet, one of my favorites, that is a whole different story!
