Okay, fine. There is a cultural exception. In some parts of Asia, you’ll find dishes with soft-boned chicken—like simmered or “drunken” chicken where the bones are so tender you can crush them with your tongue. That’s deliberate cooking, not a happy accident.
Also, let’s talk about chicken feet. They’re basically skin and cartilage with tiny, soft bones inside. People munch on those all the time. But notice the difference? You’re not biting through a thick, weight-bearing femur. You’re nibbling on toe bones the size of a toothpick.
