Geoduck is still allowed, but DM would probably give it a pass. DM never developed a taste for it.
Chicken feet are too much work. It's just tough skin, tendon and bone. My boss loves 'em and while gnaw on them whenever we go out to dim sum with some master. DM never developed a taste for that either. And it's not allowed.
Tendon can be good if done right. Beef tendon soup is quite an experience, but again, it must be done right. That's not allowed either now, but DM has seen vegetarian beef tendon soup, which just sounds funny as hell.
Tongue, well, DM has always had the policy of avoiding any part of the digestive system including tongue, tripe, and intestine. It just never seemed right to teach your digestive system to like digesting digestive system. Wouldn't want that system to start liking itself and devour itself now, would we? I once had a traditional goat head burrito, cooked in a suburban kitchen in Sunnyvale. The goat heads were wrapped in foil and left to slow cook in the oven. When you pulled them out, they looked just like what you'd thinkg baked goat heads might look like. Their eyes were all rolled up and foggy. Their tongues were hanging out. One guy cut a big piece out of the tongue for his burrito.
What about you, KB? What's your stance on such foods? Why do you ask?
