parson's nose

Poultry rear end

The parson's nose is the fatty tail end of a cooked chicken or turkey—the stubby protrusion where tail feathers once attached.

Some consider it a delicacy; others find it unappetizing.

Also called the pope's nose.

My grandmother always claimed the parson's nose for herself.
