Mexican Market

Last week I was curious and popped into the local Mexican market.  It is a large grocery store but it is just a locally owned store and predomenantly frequented by Mexicans.  I do not judge as I know many cultures eat things that other cultures find distrubing - it is all what you have and are used to.  But I will admit it still grossed me out.  Blow are pictures of chicken feet and beef lips.  I have no idea at all what recipe calls for those ingredients although I guess if I made soup from them then I could call it Talking Toes soup.  Honestly it seems like ingredients for voodoo.  Also I saw mice made out of lemons.  Sure they were super cute and clever although even though I am not in marketing, I do not think the thought of mice climbing around on you food is one that would normally be good for the food business.  It was an adventure though and I thought you would like to enjoy the pictures.

The Beef Lips kind of make me nauseous. The butcher next to us carries, chicken, pig and cow feet, plus every one of their organs - but I have never seen lips. I cannot imagine what you would do with them, except as you suggested - use them for voodoo. I never got the appeal of chicken feet either - like what is there to eat? Heck - the wing is grasping at meat as it is!!!! I think I need to use the googles and find out what the hell they would use that for.
