Right on — In southwestern Zimbabwe, I had a meal of perfectly roasted chicken bones and organ meat on skewers over a campfire. People laugh at me when I tell them how amazing it was. They might still laugh, but it’s nice to know that I’m not alone. Thanks for that.

Chicken bones are for more than just stock.

And here I was congratulating myself on the dim sum chicken feet. Okay, gotta try this. Thanks for the tip.

Now that’s the way to not waste animal parts.

First we see fried rabbit ears, and next perhaps…..fried chicken knees?

If it could bring YOU to your knees, I know it must be good.

Anyone else, I would’ve thought it was a knee-jerk reaction.

Great post. I just got back from NYC too – I am loving it more and more there for similar reasons.

If you like the idea of chicken knees, wait until you see what Michael does with tongue n’ cheek in March’s Food Arts magazine!

Awesome post. I love eating the cartilaginous ends of drumsticks and chicken wings — the best part, in my opinion!

Please write more book and write them right now. After reading this entry, I tried to come up with a clever, short way to say that it’s posts like this from a writer like you that can bring a smile to my face in what has so far been a really crappy day. So instead, I’ll just say thank you.

Damn, Michael, you sure are getting good at these envy-inducing blog posts. Thanks for another brilliant entry.

I’ll have to tell my 11 year old that he’s in good company. He’s always savoring the cartlidge-y bits.
There’ll be no living with him…

Oh Lord, it has been a crappy day. I meant bookS in my earlier post, not book. I sound like Natasha from ANTM. And that is not a good thing.

awww and thanks for the mention…and Tom V and John Stage of Dinosaur BBQ their wives and Richie and I went there and had a blast. Lord there were so many plates on the table, it was a fete. So funny, from the sublime to the cheap and sublime. when I think of the two checks, I really have to have a chuckle, too bad it is at my own ‘expense’…

I have some lambs tongue from the local Middle Eastern Market for dinner later today. Haven’t had it in years. Tried tongue and lamb kidneys when I was a kid in my grandmother’s kitchen. Nice to know that I am not the only one who likes to eat weird. ( raw lamb any one?):)

Cleveland pulled the same snow/puddle trap on me the first time I visited, so now we’re even.

Good call on the Food Arts article, Tags. I laughed the whole way through.

Fantastic post! I didn’t think it’d be possible to find myself lusting after chicken bones, but now I am.
