The rooster’s last crow by omymai on Nov 12, 2009 at 8:56 AM PST

I used to be vegetarian, but now I sometimes eat humanely raised meat. The part about this article I found offensive was that the author was seemingly proud of throwing away the head and feet. If it’s good enough to eat the wing, why is is not okay to eat the feet? Perhaps someone with the wealth to own a farm in Provence/home in northern California, and have a housekeeper can afford to waste like this.
Believe it or not these organ meats are delicacies in many cultures of the world -- perhaps why your housekeeper thought you’d appreciate them. You didn’t even try to keep it for stock, feed it to the dog, compost it or anything. Simply just throw it away.
