amelia, the girl who only ate chicken breast meat
had to eat chicken feet today.
yes the dim sum kind.
the family that we are staying with brought us out to eat dim sum..and they ordered 2 笼s of that. so they were like eat eat! and zj said ok and she ate and i was like oh i don't eat it. then they say duno how to eat must learn how to eat! so they ask me to take one to eat.
so yeah that's how i ended up with foot of chicken on my plate.
basically, chicken feet have basically nothing much, but skin, and soft bone. and that's what people eat when they eat chicken feet.
normally, when i eat even stuff like chicken rice, i chuck away the skin. and here i was, a bunch of skin right in front of me, and i was thinking to myself omgomgomg how am i going to swallow all this skin? and yes soft bone? i nv even come across it because as my title so aptly says, i am the girl who only eats chicken breast meat.
it was like fear factor.
but i am proud to say i managed to eat most of it. like the skin and stuff. but i really couldn't eat the soft bone cos the texture was too extreme to me. all u have to do is not think of it as chicken skin when u are eating it, but think of it as like beancurd skin or sth, the texture is sorta similar...and yeah that's how managed to get it down my throat tiny piece by tiny piece.
what an achievement.

Dear Armie, I am so sorry to put you through this. I can't imagine if I am faced with such an invitation, I would probably reject it no matter how. In a way if you grew up taking different types of food, you won't face with such a constraint. Well, so sorry and I applaude you...
