【食記】南投 - 蕃薯市雞腳凍 @ il Giardino Romantico

一講到雞腳凍，不要說是東海人，連非東海人第一個想到應該也是東海雞腳凍。在南投混了半天，經過友人的推薦，離開前買了這個回家。前面提到身為東海人，其實雞腳凍他不只是雞腳凍。他是一個回憶。或許有些人會覺得厭煩，但畢竟東海雞腳凍就離我大學住了三年的住所不到五分鐘路程，不是說忘就能忘的。但與友人聊起雞腳凍的不同，似乎許多人對東海雞腳凍最反感的地方就是「沒剪指甲」．．．

Chicken feet. When people come to think of chicken feet, the first thing that comes to mind is probably the famous one near Tunghai University. Being a Tunghai alumna, and the shop being so close to where I used to live during uni, it's quite difficult to get rid of the place that the chicken feet has in my memory. But since it wasn't like we were in Nantou every day, it was definitely worth trying another style of chicken feet. Apparently, the most annoying thing about the Tunghai chicken feet is that the 'nails' are not removed.

那麼我們來瞧瞧這個番薯市的雞腳凍除了指甲有剪，還有哪裡不同吧！

So let's see what else is different, other than the 'nails'...

這次買了三盒回來。

We bought three packs this time.

盒子的容量就能看出它的分量也有不同！

You can tell from the container already that there are more in volume than the Tunghai ones.

倫敦熊被我悶在包包裡面一整天，整個忘了有帶他出門，所以回到家後讓他與雞腳凍合拍一下彌補！

London Paddy had been stuffed in my bag all day, because I had forgotten that he was with me! So I took some shots of him to compensate...

可以啃得比較多～所以嘗起來應該會有比較滿足的感覺。

This was definitely more meaty than the other. I guess it makes one more satisfied in a sense.

只可惜當天其實有點累了，食慾也受引響。隔天就要回天龍國所以也沒能太盡情的享受。希望下次還有機會能夠邊吃邊配必魯囉！

Unfortunately we were a bit tired, and thus our appetites were also affected. I was to return to Taipei the next day, so we didn't really get to enjoy it as much as we anticipated. I hope we get another chance to really, really enjoy it like it should be enjoyed!
