In Italy some people (not me!) usually eat chicken legs..... and, despite the common knowledge, not only the French eat frogs and snails, italian too. (true, not a joke!).
This is the cause of the restrictions to enter USA applied till '80s to Italian and French people carrying snails and frogs. When US pizzamen went on strike when some people asked for snail-pizza and frog-pizza, in every airport now you have X-ray machines that beep if a snail or frog try to pass over. We deceive all these restrictions starting exporting chicken legs, well hided in pasta boxes.
We forecast all US people will fall in chicken-legs dependency before the 2000 year. Mafia is already planning to export yellow painted pidgeon legs in replacement (we have a lot in Italy on the monuments, and we really have many monuments)
...... oh God, what a stupid i am......and i'm not under a CH cycle now !!!!!
Ciao from Italy, and give a big hug to Claudette and Nancy.
