Love the episode thank you for creating these amazing conversations about Cantonese gastronomy. May I suggest using sin1 mei6 instead of umami so we can introduce the Westerners to Cantonese vocabulary?
鮮味! This is a really good idea and you've prompted us to start introducing more Cantonese vocabulary as we go along. If there are terms we may miss and end up only exploring in English, please feel free to comment suggest vocabulary and we can keep building on this.
On a wider note, we're also interested in other regional dialects and languages - We'll try and cover Cantonese and Mandarin, but it would be interesting to hear other variations in pronunciations, but also perhaps even terms and meanings.
I remember and I miss chicken feet! My grandma would put them in the soup (a sour soup, the usual in the part of Romania I come from), and they were usually eaten by the grown ups, the kids got the 'good' bits, the meaty bits. But I've always loved nibbling on the cartilage on the bones. I have not had them in so long, I don't think it's something you'd find in a restaurant back home, not even in a 'traditional' one. hmm .. I think I'll call my grandma to ask her about preparing them :)
How interesting - while chicken feet is savoured as a particular part of the cuisine, it is also thought of as an adult food in Romania. I'd love to learn more. I think anthropologists have focused on the growth of the children's food sector (in the US and Western Europe, and latterly in Eastern Europe too) but perhaps not as much on how that reshapes the way we think about adult food.
Asking your grandma about how she makes the sour soup. Please do share the preparation here if you have the time and inclination :) - I would love to know how recipes differ and will share this with Andrew as cross-cultural variety also keeps his imagination spinning.
Totally love it, the cooking technique, the naming and the culture. There is so much behind it, but as a native Chinese who loves eating chicken feet, I took all these as granted. Thank you, Mukta, for sharing all these.
Thank you so much for your kind words!! It's both our pleasure and privilege to record these episodes and we are so glad that you got something out of listening - thank you again!
Haha, I think perhaps it is all just a matter of perspective. Spitting out chicken feet bones on to a neat pile is a very skilled and highly valued technique in many parts of the world!

What do you think of lion's heads? ;)
Or perhaps tumbling donkeys?
