| - Today my hubby and I went to a chinese seafood buffet place because I was craving all you can eat crab legs. I was expecting lots of seafood but their selection was kind of meh. I DID find chicken feet, pigs feet, frog legs, and whole baby octopi however. So I decided (bravely) to try them.
First of all, I have no idea how you are supposed to eat chicken feet. It is, well, it's a freaking chicken foot. It's all bones with a little bit of skin on it. Just the way it looked was enough to make me gag. But I figured, I would probably not have this opportunity again. So I picked it up and was like, am I supposed to just bite into it? I decided not to and instead tried picking the "meat" off the bone. It was so tough - like rubber. I managed to get this eraser sized piece off and put it in my mouth. Blech! It was seasoned in some kind of chili sauce and was so tough, I couldn't even chew it. So I immediately spit it out.
Then I moved onto the pigs foot. It looked like a little short rib and thankfully it didn't have the hoof still attached. But it was pure fat. I looked for any hint of meat, but there was none. So I bit into it (because you can). Blech! It's freaking like blubbery jelly. I almost lost it right then and there. The taste was like pork, but the texture grossed me out.
I needed a minute to recover from that. But then I moved onto the frog leg. I picked a piece of meat off the bone. It's true what they say, that it tastes like chicken. The texture is like chicken too. It was almost like eating a chicken wing due to the size. It wasn't bad. But after I ate that little piece, I saw a long blue vein running through the rest of it. Then I saw more blue things inside. Just the visual was enough to put it down. Too bad because it tasted okay.
I actually like octopus, but I've never had a whole one before. I was a little scared, but I started with the legs. It was good! So I quickly shoved the rest in my mouth and it was fine. Nothing squirted out, which I was afraid of. It was just chewy all around and tasted okay.
So did I ever get to try any crab? Well, when they finally brought it out I grabbed a few pieces and thought finally! But when I opened the claw, there was NO meat! WTF? What the hell kind of crab is this (it wasn't snow crab)? So I cracked open a leg. Again, very little meat and what was there, was dry and tasted extremely fishy. I got scared and didn't eat anymore.
So there was my adventure into the scary world of chinese seafood buffets. At least I got to cleanse my pallet with dry chocolate cake and some really good kahlua and cream like jello shot. THAT was the best thing I had all day!
