pig feet
Porcine lower extremities
Pig feet are the feet of a pig, typically prepared as food.
They're a traditional ingredient in many cuisines—Southern American, Mexican, Chinese, and others—valued for their gelatinous texture when braised or pickled.
The collagen-rich meat becomes tender after long cooking: pickled pig feet, pig feet stew.
Also called pig's feet or pigs' feet.
