7722 Lewis B. (S.R. 33),, General Puller Hwy, Topping, VA 23169. Middlesex County

This area was long settled by indigenous peoples; those encountered by Europeans were of the Algonquian-speaking peoples, part of loose alliance of tribes known as the Powhatan Confederacy. The Nimcock had a village on the river where Urbanna was later developed. English settlement of the area began around 1640, with the county being officially formed in 1668 from a part of Lancaster County.[3] This settlement pushed the Nimcock upriver. The county’s only incorporated town, Urbanna, was established by the colonial Assembly in 1680 as one of 20 50-acre port towns designated for trade. It served initially as a port on the Rappahannock River for shipping agricultural products, especially the tobacco commodity crop. As the county developed, it became its commercial and governmental center.–Wikipedia

Nomenclature

“Chicken paws” and “chicken feet” are essentially the same thing, but some consider “paws” to refer specifically to the lower part of the chicken foot, excluding the hock joint, making it a smaller, more delicate cut compared to a full “chicken foot” which includes the hock and more bony structure; both terms are often used interchangeably depending on the region and market.Especially for young people, chicken feet and chicken paws are served as a snack instead of a dish. China is the largest consumer country for chicken feet and chicken paws in the world. Chicken feet and chicken paw is not only a dish but is also served as a snack. Chicken Feet are also high in collagen, a protein that works to support skin, coat, and joint health in dogs. While chewing chicken feet, your dog will also be scraping away tartar and plaque, promoting healthier teeth and gums.
