SNAPSHOT 1:
She whispered in my ear... “Could I take home some of the fat?”
This is Tania`s fourth year helping with Christmas on the Streets... She, her mom and kid sister helped this year cutting up the 550+ chickens... Heads off... 9 or 10 pieces out of each chicken... washed... spiced... bags of 50 pieces... into the freezer... (to be cooked in the early morning hours of the 24th) The helpers’ eyes always brighten as they divide up the gizzards, livers, hearts, heads, feet and fat to take home... I’m sure that this “bonus” motivates a few of the ladies to come and help on our three `chicken chopping days`. The fat is fried down to make oil. The feet are eaten like that, added to soup for flavour or to make gelatine! The other things make special treats... ymmm... Is it any wonder we prefer pancakes for Christmas?
