Gave me a right start the first time I saw those bunch of toes looking at me .
Chicken feet are a huge export business for the poultry industry in the US, there not being much demand for chicken feet in the US.

I used to love cheese until my nan told me that it was just milk that had gone off. It seems to me that dairy farmers have got themselves a tidy little scam going there.

I'm not really a fan of cheese so I think I'm relatively clean. I don't mind that spongy whiteish stuff they sprinkle on pizzas. Otherwise, at worst I'm a recreational user.

Shudder.

Seriously? Is that all?

In that case, I *might* be guilty of overconsumption of cheese...

I never managed to get over my aversion to eating visibly recognisable claws/paws etc when Over There . I did unwittingly consume some fairly mindboggling foodstuffs when they were served up in a nice sauce/soup ...

I hear you!

The other thing I couldn't bring myself to eat with claws were deep fried sparrows (in Canton), complete with beak, wings, feet and eyes. I found cuttlefish and shark very tasty though!

I've had Shark and Swordfish. One was much better than the other but I'm not 100% sure which.

Cuttlefish? Was the budgie an appetiser?

Swordfish is like a slightly firmer tuna. Most sharks are stripped of their fins and the carcass discarded. ..... I suspect that swordfish tastes much better than shark.

I have to admit to a sneaky midnight cheese-and-crackers yesterday.

Hamster is definitely a cheese addict. Should have seen him trying to stuff a lump in his pouches at the weekend.

'No, it won't fit in there.'
'Yes, it will.'
'No, it won't.'
'Ah, it won't. OK, I'll just have to run around the cage at random with an inch of cheese sticking out of my mouth while I decide where to stash it.'

He absolutely will not touch processed cheese slices of any kind, though.
