We eat WEIRD THINGS...its okay, I'm Asian

74. As I said the one near my home, (linda vista)

has the best selection of fish you could ever find. But I went there specifically looking for chicken feet. They had duck (ralphs had it cheaper, I like to make that for thanksgiving, more flavor, two people and two parrots, a turkey is too big) alas no chicken feet.

Zion is not truly asian, but Hallal, though they do have a hell of a spice section. So if you are looking for spices... try them.

(I like to cook, so I have been to some of these places already)

The one on Kearny Mesa is a hoot to visit, and when I could still eat gluten, the yaki soba made on site is to die for. And Ranch 99, have not been there in a while. Hmm, might have to try that one again. (And they do have some restaurants on the side where they have extremely good Chinese, again, cannot have it anymore, soy sauce normally has wheat), but damn, some of that food was to die for.

I suspect that part of the reason for this is... Americans in general really do not want to eat "weird things." So even the stores don't sell these as much, since the second and third generation are americanizing fast.
