I've known a number of Scotsmen who say it's good stuff, but I don't believe it for a second, I suspect it's some joke Scotland's been playing on the rest of the planet.

i think i am going to hurl....
She oughta take strychnine or cyanide to keep her quiet.
Best pig's feet on the planet are at Kraussmann's on Beaver Hall Hill Street in Montreal.
i have had pickled pigs feet by the way, my Lithuanian grandmother made it. it was some gelatinous mass that had flecks of meat from the porcine foot in it i guess. that is a nightmarish dish i hadn't thought of in some time. i will have to email xsbro with that particular memory....
Ya gotta lluv the signuptoday types who latch on to 2 year old threads claiming inside knowlege or something - they always make me laugh!!!
That's just nasty.
it was and i just emailed xsbro to raise the spectre of it in his memory banks, just to be spiteful!
LMAO!
I've never tried the pickled kind, Kraussmann's are large and boiled and they're delicious. With hot mustard and boiled potatoes and sauerkraut. And beer, of course.
and do they look like a big cloven hoof?
hmmmmm
Nope. Let me try to find a picture.
