I'm kinda surprised you can find chicken feet. The vast majority get packaged up off the processing line and sent to China.

I've eaten some strange things in my life, but I have to draw the line at chicken feet. I just can't get past the fact that they walk around in crap their whole lives.

You eat eggs?
Yep, but I don't eat the shell.

My guess is a man saw animals eating them and decided to try it. Same way with lots of foods.
We probably learned to cook food by accident - and learned that it lasted longer.

Same thing - watched a critter smack one open, ate it - figured, hmm, I should try that.

Have not tried chicken feet yet, but would probably eat them before chicken livers, or livers of any type.

My sisters dog wouldn't even eat the cooked turkey giblets.

See, I knew a guy who refused to eat chicken SKIN, for the same reasons you mentioned - when I asked why he answered "ever BEEN in a hen house?". I have. But I still like chicken skin.
However, I did once eat dinner with a fellow student in college who made a plate with chopped bits of fish and chicken livers. It was wonderful. So I imagine it is a matter of how it is prepared. I realize what a liver DOES - but I also eat creatures that are bottom feeders, like catfish. Or crabs. I'm fine with that.
Obviously NOT a Golden Retriever.My sisters dog wouldn't even eat the cooked turkey giblets.

For the class .... Things don't have any meat on them. So what is there to eat? Hell, they won't even make good crab bait. Nothing for the crab to eat.

Had fried chicken feet once as part of a Chinese Dim Sum. You suck the cartilage out from between the bones. Slightly less gross than eating scrapple, but not exactly filling or super tasty.
That's what I remember from the night market in Taiwan. A big pot of steaming bright yellow gelatin.
