Could you clip the nails first?

So this morning I was served a bowl of chicken feet soup with breakfast. I thought it was just regular soup until my spoon discovered from its dark depths a chicken foot. I promise you that I did not ask for it (although I probably nodded my head yes when she said something incomprehensible). Well I figured this would be a good opportunity to try something different. Two sips later I thought I might vomit so needless to say, I did not finish it.
