You're right. Crow, among other things, is an aquired taste.

Count me in on being one of the clueless ones.

I always thought that those drumstick-looking parts

were part of the wing. After all, a whole wing consists

of three sections, doesn't it? You have the drumstick

part, the part with the two bones in it, and the outermost

part that just has a bit of skin on it.

Not only that but, an actual leg has that needle-like

bone attached to it that gets in the way sometimes.

Some people call them wing-dings. I refer to the part

that you're talking about here as being "the ding of the wing".

Fwee,

The drumstick-looking thing IS part of the wing. You are not a clueless idiot, I am. But now that I know better, I can walk tall in the knowledge that the ding of the wing is known in chicken circles as the "drumette".

I must have misunderstood your post then.

That's good though. At least now I know that I was right

when arguing with other people that it isn't a leg.
