Insights into Egyptian Daily Life through Chicken Feet

Egypt is facing a deepening economic crisis, with inflation running at just over 30% in March, making basic staples unaffordable for many people. 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. Part of the reason Egypt is struggling is it relies very heavily on imported food rather than domestic agriculture to feed its huge population of over 100 million people.
