I know, right? I’m totally ruining our street creds.

You should’ve seen the time the halal butcher gave me a chicken with the head & feet included in the bag—something I wasn’t aware of till I got home and pulled it out. I’m sure the blood-curdling scream was heard several doors down.

Next time I bought chicken from that guy it was like, “Look, I’m American—I don’t want to be reminded that my food was once a real live chicken, m’kay? No. More. Heads. Or. Feet. Got it?” He just sorta shook his head & shrugged, heh.

When I lived in Kreuzberg, Berlin, there was a Turkish grocery store with a halal butcher - good cuts of meat and all quite fresh. But I never had a chicken head and feet, and I did a lot of shopping there for the Wohngemeinschaft. It was about one block away, so of course, very convenient.
