Half A Chicken

If you buy a half a chicken, you should get your money’s worth, right? Yes, in Shanghai, the half chicken comes with one chicken foot (yes, I mean a claw) and a perfectly bisected head (yes, one eye looking at you). Good thing I grew up in Ree Heights and watched Aunt Lois slaughter the chickens. At least Cousin Jimmy is not chasing me around with the claw, pulling the tendon to make the chicken foot grab my ear.
