Why Egyptians are being asked to eat chicken feet

[Still Waters]

Egypt is facing a deepening economic crisis, a situation so acute its people are struggling to feed their families.

The latest nutritional advice from the state suggested cooking up some chicken feet - a protein-rich part of the bird usually reserved as scraps for dogs and cats.

This recommendation has sparked anger and intensified criticism of the government.

Many countries are battling soaring inflation but running at just over 30% in March, Egypt is one of those suffering the most.

For many people, items that were previously basic staples such as cooking oil and cheese have become unaffordable luxuries. Some products have doubled or tripled in price within months.

Cannot they eat chicken feed instead?

But seriously, some poor Southerners still eat them. No thanks.
