Hmmmm, my wife would like those...
and very likely she would make soup with the heads, too.
When she was in SF yesterday buying half of a yellow feather chicken she asked for the head and feet. I let her eat them, although someday I'll try chewing on chicken feet.

And someday I won't
Hey, look at that. That day is today. And tomorrow is looking good for a repeat performance.

You gotta get yourself out on Sunday to have some
dim sum. Very good food, and yes, it includes chicken feet. Lotsa tiny bones, but tasty nonetheless.

Well, spicy is good, too
at least my wife likes spicy chicken feet as a snack, and they are easy to find here (e.g. Lion, Ranch 99, and Marina supermarkets, and of course in San Francisco they're cheaper and better quality).
Dim sum is very good, although it helps to eat it with some one who speaks Chinese.

That's the truth
Chinese restaurants (ie- restaurants that are owned and operated by Chinese people, in contrast to "Chinese Restaurants" a la Ho-Lee Chow) have two menus; one for those who can speak the lingo, and one for those that can't.

No, there's one printed menu
for non-Chinese speakers (normal Western style menu), and the Chinese only specials hand-written on paper that's posted on the wall (if the restaurant isn't fancy), and the specials you have to ask for (e.g. special New Year's noodles). I'm sure if you knew what to ask for they'd give you the specials, but first you have to know...
At least, that's what I've seen in Chinese restaurants for Chinese people. But, it helps having Chinese friends and a Chinese wife.
