Don't know about that, but my ex-sister-in-law (a Filipino) used to prepare a dish where she chopped up an entire chicken (flesh, bones, organs, and all) into little tiny pieces, and then cooked it with rice and veggies. I recall that most of the bones fragments were very tender and easily chewed and swallowed. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!
