Lazy Couch Day...


The last few weeks I have been taking off here and there on Saturdays and venturing out.  It was colder today, I slept in and decided today was going to be a Lazy Couch Day.  Everyone deserves a Lazy Couch Day once in a while and today was my day.  After the week I had this week, this was the best way to spend it.  Of course you can't stay on the couch all day without any food, so I was treated to something I have wanted to try, but haven't had the guts to try by myself here in Taiwan...




Chicken Feet and Pig Intestine.  Thats right, I finally ate fried chicken feet and pig intestine.  I've had intestine before and I actually really like it, but the chicken feet are hard to get used to.  Once you get the nails off and figure out how to eat the skin and meat off he small bones, then you are set.  It's kinda like a less meaty chicken wing that can grab you!  We had them friend in a really thick sauce which was really good and stuck everything together in the bag.

Of course you don't just have it with that, so you add things like this... pig's kidney, iron eggs and some nice stinky tofu.  It just rounds out the meal, don't you think?



A big bag of all this for two from a food stand in Gongguan... 130nt ($4.50).  Not a bad meal and I think I will have it again.  This is the one thing about living here, no matter where you go, there are so many choices of foods to try that you can always try something new, or something you like, just prepared in a different way.  Next time from the same stand... the neck and head of a goose.  And before you ask, yes, that includes the brain!!!

The bottom three photos look enticing. The top two photos do not. I'm an adventurous foodie. But I don't think I could bring myself to eat the feet of barnyard fowl. *gag* But... lazy couch days rule.

When I read your post about food I get so envious; I miss having such a big selection of Asian food. I miss having Asian greens. I miss all the different kidns of tofu. I miss all the food stand meats. I miss the jellyfish. I miss being able to have live seafood. I miss the sushi. *drooling just thinking about it all*
