So I was given some of these as a gag gift, but I'm curious to try them. Any suggestions on ways to prepare them?

So far the only advice I got was to just slice 'em up and have 'em with lemon.

Considering what they are, I'm not sure there really is a proper way to eat them. [Wink]

A friend of mine has a grandfather who would probably qualify as "hillfolk". he used to enjoy the pickled pig's foot sandwiches sold at a stand just outside of the factory where he worked for a while when he was a kid. According to him "the sandwiches were so good you didn't mind a little hair".

Do yours have hair on them?

I think you put them in a crock pot and stew them all day, then skim the parts you don't want to eat off the top.

That's how the pig's feet I saw in Detroit were eaten.

If I did that, then after the skimming, there would be nothing left in the pot.

Amen, sister (although, I think, perhaps for different reasons...)

I haven't opened the jar yet, so let's just say I'm not sure if that's hair or not.

Well hey, if they do you can just pretend like they come with their own built-in floss!

They go great on a fresh tostado. Thats like an open faced taco for those of you who live east of Denver.

Pickled pig's feet... it's like someone asked themselves "what else could we possibly do to this so that nobody will eat it?". Pickling them was probably the answer they came up with [Razz]

I can't think of anything else I'd eat pickled other than... pickles.


Do the feet come with the nails and everything? Maybe you could use those to pick your teeth with later once the meal is safely deposited in your stomach, or the living room floor as it might turn out [Big Grin]

Well, if they were raw they wouldn't be pickled.

You *could* eat a raw pig's foot, I suppose, but then you could do a lot of things. I wouldn't personally recommend that you do so though. There trichinosis to consider, and just the general squick factor.

Eh, trichinosis is rare and treatable with antibiotics. Eat away.

Well, it's easy to sit here and judge the dietary habits of other people.

So I will. Ick.

[Razz] I have no idea why I put that-I knew that. Sleepy medication has kicked in. [Sleep]
