pig's trotter
Hog's lower limb
A pig's trotter is the foot of a pig, used as food.
Trotters are cooked slowly to render their collagen into rich, gelatinous texture—braised, pickled, or added to stews for body.
The French bistro served crispy pig's trotters with mustard sauce.
Also called pig's feet in American English.
