This post is my entry into this month’s Japan Blog Matsuri being hosted by Deas of Rocking in Hakata. The last time I entered the Matsuri was last September when the theme was “the language of Japan” and my entry was “Learning Japanese is complicated but not difficult.” This month’s theme is “Foreign Food” and for almost 2 weeks I have had various ideas floating around in my head, the first being to show off my creation when I cooked dinner last Sunday (didn’t turn out too well -_-) and the second being pictures and a write up of my favourite local fast food joint (will post this in the future). In the end I woke up this morning to the sweet aroma of my finalized entry in the matsuri – Chicken Foot Soup!
What’s in it?
- Chicken Feet! (duh)
- Potatoes
- 2 types of Yam
- Carrots
- Soup Noodles
- Chayote (we call it Cho-Cho)
- Flour Dumplins
- 1 Huge Scotch Bonnet Pepper
- Seasonings, Herbs, Spices
- other things I am sure I am forgetting
I try to give my pet Gundam two filling meals everyday
Why I like It
It cures, treats or makes almost all illnesses better, it’s like an undiscovered elixir of life! Have a cold? Chicken foot soup! Back pain? Chicken foot soup! Depression? Chicken foot soup! Fatigue! Chicken foot soup! – but the most important problem it cures is a strange illness called hunger ^^.
Thanks Mom!

It’s one of my favorite dishes too ^^v
I would LOVE to try that. I’m a huge fan of soups like this, and I’m also a fan of a peppers that pack more than a few scoville units. (Between 100,000 and 350,000 for Scotch Bonnets.) Man, that looks good! :-) Thanks for the entry.
Good stuff!
Looks good!!!

Haven’t had that since my trip to visit family in Jamaica about 10 years ago.
Good times (little spicy though)
@ Jamie….no u don’t have to take them out. I guess it can seem like a strange custom to eat, but after taking the plunge one realises it really ain’t so icky after all. Mainly bone and cartilage-like meat.
for owen, yes chicken soup cures stuff. the flu. u dont remember ur mama giving u soup for a cold. other stuff too. so there!
