pope's nose

Poultry posterior morsel

The pope's nose is the fatty tail stub of a cooked chicken or turkey—the fleshy nub where tail feathers attached.

Some consider it a delicacy, prized for its rich flavor and crispy skin when roasted.

Also called the parson's nose.

Grandma always claimed the pope's nose for herself.
