Butcher has several that should be here Wednesday or Thursday. Anyone have any suggestions or experiences, cooking them on an Egg, that you could share ?? I have had them several times in China, Korea, and Hong Kong but have never attempted to cook them myself but plan to try next week............Thanks in advance for your comments.

    I grew up eating "pickled pig's feet" as a special treat, but totally unfamiliar with cooking them; will be watching this thread closely!

    If I may ask, do you have a true pork knuckle? I ask because the term is used very broadly from region to region. If you have a true knuckle, I may know a old southern gentleman that can help you out. 

    Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    The joint between the tibia/fibula and the metatarsals of the foot, where the foot was attached to the hog's leg. It is the portion of the leg that is neither part of the ham proper nor the foot or ankle, but rather the extreme shank end of the leg bone. Cooking them require braising for around 4 hours or so...........
