big stompy feet

Most people who know us know that DH semi-frequently works with the poultry industry, especially in the Mississippi delta region. Here's a cute news article he found yesterday in The New York Times.
Chewy Chicken Feet May Quash a Trade War
by Clifford KrausChina is threatening to cut off imports of American chicken, but poultry experts have at least one reason to suspect it may be an empty threat: Many Chinese consumers would miss the scrumptious chicken feet they get from this country...About half of the chicken parts sold to China are wings and feet, which are worth only a few cents a pound in the United States. As delicacies in China, they fetch 60 cents to 80 cents a pound, a price that no other foreign market comes close to matching, according to industry experts.
[Poultry economist Paul W.] Aho said the big chicken feet result from the American preference for white chicken meat. A bird bred for big breasts is necessarily bred to have big, strong feet and legs, he said. The United States is by far the world�s leading supplier of king-size chicken feet...

Holy cow, peoples. I just got my bird books for the Bolivia trip, and they're huge. They'll take up the entire suitcase. I mean, guys, what do you think, I'm hiring a separate camel just to cart around my field guides?
Do they even have camels in Bolivia?
Of course, the point is moot until such time as I actually receive a tourist visa....Stay tuned.
