Food Trip 18 - "Adidas"

In the Philippines, street foods are a common scene. Literally speaking, almost in every street corner where there's an influx of people, food carts are selling varieties of street foods. To the non-choosy hungry soul, it is always a welcome opportunity to fill an empty stomach for a minimal amount only.

One of the enticing, mouth watering, and irresistible stuff on the sidewalk is chicken feet or locally known as "adidas."  Basically, in the Philippines, every part of a chicken is a commodity and none of it goes to waste. And chicken feet is no exemption.

So if ever you'll come across this stuff, give it a try and you'll definitely find yourself asking for another stick.
