Jeff and I ate here this weekend instead of at Pitzer's due to the rat problem. I usually don't like Nightcourts for no real reason. They are reasonably priced and are located very close to my mom's house. I just don't like them. There isn't a lot to choose from for vegetarian fare. Although they do have a veggie sub. I chose to get a grilled chicken salad with the chicken on the side. The salad was fine. (If you don't like olives remember to ask for no olives. They chop them up and are impossible to eat around.) There weren't many fries on the salad which is always a bummer. But other than that fine. Jeff got chicken wings. He always complains that in Pittsburgh it's impossible to find regular chicken wings, everyone here sells wing dings. So until Saturday I don't believe I've ever seen real chicken wings. They were huge! He got a dozen and only ate half. But he loves them so two wings up from him.

So what is the difference between a wing and a wing-ding? Obviously the wing dings are smaller, but are they just like regular wings cut smaller? Or do they come from midget chickens? Excuse me - "small" chickens. Not that I eat chicken anyways, but I don't think I would want to because it always seems like a big mess.

I really don't know. I just assumed they came from smaller chickens.

I think they are a shorter piece of the wing, sort of like how you can get a leg and a thigh as one piece. Well chicken wings aren't typically referred to as upper wing and fore wing or anything like that. So its either just the 'fore wing' or the whole wing from 'upper' wing on down. I think its just a matter of the restaurant. I know Quaker Seak and Lube sells the shorter wings and still refers to them as wings.
