"chicken parts" news and stories

Here's a part of the chicken you never thought of eating

I love chicken, but I have to admit I never thought of eating the cockscomb.

First of all, get your mind out of the gutter. Thank you. The cockscomb (also called "le creste") are those funny little things on top of the chicken's head. Eating this probably never occurred to most people, since it would be like eating someone's hat or maybe fingernails. But people do eat it.

The taste? Rowena at this site made it (with risotto) and says they "barely hinted of giblets." The final cooked product wouldn't scare me away, as long as the person serving it didn't tell me what it was or show me any "before" pictures.
