trotters

Porcine culinary extremities

Trotters are feet, especially pigs' feet prepared as food: pickled trotters, braised trotters.

The word comes from trot—feet are what trot.

In informal or humorous British usage, trotters can mean human feet: Get your trotters off the table.

A trotter is also a horse bred or trained for trotting races.
