Chicken Foot Souse

Chicken foot souse is commonly referred to as liming food and as the name suggests is made from chicken feet. This fare was once available only around carnival time but now has become quite pervasive (as an alternative to pig foot souse) especially in the various bars and watering holes around Trinidad and Tobago.

Whilst the idea of eating chicken feet (denailed of course) does not seem to be all that appealing or appetizing, the actual pickling of it using ingredients such as limes, black pepper, spicy hot peppers, onions, cilantro (shandon beni), black pepper, cucumber, salt and garlic does make one quite curious that with all these ingredients and its popularity there must be something to it. So I would suggest that before you judge you should as the old saying goes "try it you might like it". This food comes mainly from an african culinary background

I may add though this street food is not particularly one of my favourites, you be the judge.
