Is Panettone the New Fruitcake?
I've had very good (buttery) panettone, so add me to the yea list. Probably the best way to use less than stellar panettone is to turn it into panettone pudding or french toast the slices.
Howard's Crispy Fried Chicken Skins, Because Pork Rinds Are So Last Year
Chicken chicharon is available in Manila, I first ate them in my school canteen, and have found them in supermarkets and food markets. They are best eaten hot and fresh, use them as a substitute for croutons!

I've been eating pig's feet all my life - deep fried, braised in soy sauce and other savory bits, roasted, used for soup. I only cooked with them once though, and perhaps need to do as you did, consider their very special nature before I attack them with a fork and knife. Filipinos love our crispy pata (parboiled then deep fried trotters), finding all the tender sweet meat in the bones and knuckles and nibbling on the chewy cartilege.
