pigs feet
Brined hoof dish
Pigs feet are the feet of a pig prepared as food, typically braised, pickled, or stewed until the tough connective tissue becomes tender and gelatinous.
A staple in many cuisines—Southern American, Chinese, Mexican, German—they're valued for their rich, collagen-heavy texture rather than their meat.
Also spelled pig's feet or pigs' feet.
