Not quite "obsessed," but determined
Several weeks ago, a meat dept. guy at a grocery store told me that he
could get me chicken wing tips. Turned out he could not. I know where I *can* buy them, but the problem is that the minimum order is 25 metric tons, which is 55,000 pounds. http://www.alibaba.com/showroom/chicken-wing-tips.html When you buy those drummies and paddles, the "flapper" (tip) is not included. Where do they go? What do they do with them? http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2...reast-boneless They sell them in lots of 55,000 pounds to be shipped to Asia, where they are considered a delicacy--according to the export manager for one of the large chicken companies. He gave me the name of a plant manager who may be willing to sell them to me either through a supermarket, or directly. This morning, I wrote and mailed a nice formal business letter (remember the format from jr. high?), and am going to follow it up next week with a phone call. It's taken me hours of research and phone calls to get this far, and I hope that my nicely written letter will help persuade the plant manager to sell me them frozen, by the case--which will probably be ~25-40 pounds. Then I'll thaw them, put them into plastic containers of a few pounds each, lightly salt and pepper them and immediately refreeze the containers in a deep freeze. Once they are at deep freeze temperature, I plan to top off the containers with 32F water and return them to the deep freeze. That's to protect them from freezer burn. Then I can remove them one container at a time, thaw them and fry them up crispy in oil, and coat them with a little popcorn salt for hours of snacking pleasure that combines the deliciousness and nutritive nature of pork rinds with the time intensive property of in- the-shell sunflower seeds. --Bryan |

If you don't have one, this would be a good time to spring for one. |
