And they ate them off lead plates. Pewter had lead in it back in the day. Throw in acid from tomatoes and you had a nice way to get lead poisoning.
LOL - cow feet, pig feet - both are rich in gelatin. Know where Jell-O comes from?
Know why a bowl of beans cooked with a real ham hock is so much better than beans with just cubed up ham pieces? Gelatin and marrow.

I've been kinda leery of brains ever since the mad cow thing a few years ago.
Some of y'all never been poor enough to eat chicken feet, and it shows.
What I have read about tomatoes years ago is people thought they were poisonous. Plantation owners here grew them as an ornamental in flower gardens. They started noticing that the tomatoes were coming up missing as the slaves were filching and eating them. That is how they found out that they were good to eat.

Long as we had .22 rounds, there was no need to eat feet...
Growing up in rural Louisiana, there wasn't anything we wouldn't eat. It was a culture shock moving to OK and hearing people at the damn call gar and carp "trash fish."
