I have said many times that there is no food that is wasted in our Chinese kitchens. Chicken feet is such a special delicacy. However, our question today may be a bit "sour". There is a rumor on the Internet that boneless chicken feet are made by old ladies with their mouths. Is it true?

Well, it’s a little embarrassing that I can’t give a single answer to this question. Although it’s a bit annoying to take off the bones of chicken feet, there are still safe and hygienic methods. However, skilled workers can handle a chicken foot. The bone also takes about 50 seconds. So many years ago, there was indeed a report in a black workshop where workers "participated in processing with their mouths" (it's hard to say whether it's an old lady or not, I don't think so. Isn't it even more inconvenient for the elderly to have their teeth?), because the workers The wages are calculated based on piece or weight. It is very efficient to use both hands and mouth.

As early as August 1, 2002, the Chengdu Health and Epidemic Prevention Department took down a black workshop where workers participated in processing with their mouths. In a dormitory room of a cutting tool factory, their chicken feet passed by Boil it in boiling water until it is half-cooked, then use a knife to slit the back of the claw, then tear it open and then bite it to remove the bone relatively quickly. This news shocked a lot at the time because it was so disgusting, so it had a wide impact. However, you don’t have to worry so much about the regular products you buy now. They are basically operated with knives and other mechanical tools. You can basically clearly see the neat cuts and cuts, which cannot be done by the human mouth.

And the relevant domestic news that can be found now is the content from sixteen or seventeen years ago. It seems that this kind of news has never happened in China since then. I don’t think there are still people who are keen on processing in such a primitive way today. After so many years, this labor is probably very expensive now. But I think we can’t relax about food safety, and we can’t relax in cracking down on various illegal workshops to make people’s diet safer and more secure.
