[MR] chicken feet

[Steven Chang]

Well the word for feet is also a homonymn for the word Pieces in Mandarin.
So it could have just been a play on words. Chicken pieces would translate
to chicken feet. I never understood why someone translated it to Pu Pu
platters though. They could have thought up a better name for it.
