She even liked chicken foot soup and all other manner of things gristle, fin, bone and skin like including crispy salty fried fish tails and boiling pig heads on the stove for head cheese.
Came from French family too.

I'll eat fish tails off a fried fish, but I'll pass on the pig/chicken feet or boiled pig heads...
My Irish uncles used to make what they called "pa heat" not sure of the spelling but it was made by boiling down beef shanks (bone in) adding an ungodly amount of fresh black cracked pepper ( like 1/4 cup) and minced garlic. Mix together and put into a 13" x 9" pan, stick in fridge and let geletanize. Then eat on saltine crackers. It's very good.
