Edible flower arrangement for the proudly South Africans
Here's something that appeals to your eyes and your tummy...
If you love chicken feet, you might love this one.
Several videos are making their rounds on social media, showing chicken feet bouquets. Yes, it looks as absurd as it sounds, and we have to admit it looks like something Gomez Addams might give Morticia Addams from The Addams Family.
Chicken feet are a popular favourite among many South Africans. The kids of this generation have even shocked us a few times with their responses to eating chicken feet.
But many people reject this collagen-rich food source because of its appearance. Of course, it isn't the most appealing of foods when your brain makes the connection that you are eating something an animal used to walk around on.
For the fans, though, this bouquet fuses their love for chicken feet and flowers. Even more intriguing about this trend is that some bouquets keep the nails on the feet and have them painted. What's better than receiving a bouquet with freshly manicured chicken feet?
Check out the video below from TikTok.

If people can make cupcakes and fried chicken bouquets, what's wrong with a chicken feet one? The hygiene aspect may be a deal breaker. It's like a two-for-one, you get flowers and something to cook for dinner.
Here's another example of the chicken feet bouquet, courtesy of TikTok, this time without the nails.
