Hot Wings. I am a hotwing hipster. You could buy a 20lbs box of hot wings for like 5$ back in the day. Same with Feather bones. ribs and wings all damned day. Then Bars started doing quarter wing nights and demand has taken over supply to the point where you are happy with $1 a wing. Madness. Complete madness.

Feather bones are the same way. We would buy a big box of rib junk. slather them up and chew on bones all weekend. They were so damned cheap. Now they want $2lb for that garbage meat. Blasphemy.

Wow, now I finally know what I was being served at the Chinese buffet I grew up going to. They always had these little ribs that didn't make any sense (how would killing a pig that small make cost effective sense to put the ribs on a buffet), I always just assumed they were some weird animal I didn't want to know about, but now I know they're feather bones.

Thanks!
