Did your Mom used to cook pigs trotters when you were young?!
Answers: Did you like them and can you still get them? And also, did she used to put Pearl Barley in the stew?
No but my gran did and she used a pigs head to make ******* , Il never forget having to carry a pigs head home from the butchers its a horrible memory that will stay with me forever
No

No pearl barley, but we used to watch Pearly Bailey.
hope thats helpful.
no, my mum is human.
No, well.. i dont think so but ive seen some dish made with a banana heart
Can I ask....? (I'm a curious type)...what are pig trotters?
yes she did I don`t know if you can still buy them and yes she used to put some barley in soups. the pigs trotters where eaten hole.
My nan regularly cooked pigs feet.
I remember the Pearl Barley mum used to put in her stews - in fact, i use it in my own now.
No, thank goodness no pigs trotters were cooked in our house! as for the pearl barley, we didn't have it in the stew, but in vegetable soup. That was quite nice.
Yes she did. They were disgusting, I wouldn't touch them. And barley and dumplings in the stew. That would have been to make it more filling I suppose.
Edit: Chucky's mum cooked them the posh way. lol
Um... no.
But we did have "clooty dumpling" cooked in an old pillowcase!!
No she didn`t thank goodness, she didn`t use pearl barley either....
Oh me god yes, we use to get pigs tails and cows tongue oh jasus im gagging as im typing, barley was used in a stew allright, think you can still get them, i only passed by a butcher,s in moore street in dublin a while ago and saw a pigs head in the window, a whole pigs head, i stood there for ages like a mental case just looking at this head, still me grandmother always said that food like that was the best you could get not like the crap thats out there now, lol.
Yes, you can still buy pigs feet at any grocery store in the meats section. They are usually boiled in water and spices until the meat falls off the bone, the bones are removed and then it is poured into a glass container with a lid and allowed to cool and it will form a gel like loaf which you can slice and eat cold with a splash of vinegar. You can also buy it sliced up at the lunchmeat counter, it is called souse.
PS, if you have ever eaten hot dogs or bologna, you have already eaten pigs feet, pigs snouts and pigs tails!!!
Hey, I live in the south and pigs feet are still here. Usually the old school southerners eat them, you know the older ones. You can still buy them at the store in the meat section and you can still buy pickled pigs feet in the jar. UMMM so good with collard greens.
crubeens is what you are referring to.they take about 2 hrs to cook.they are very tasty,and you would have some thirst after eating them.my mother in law is a cook. she cooks them where shes works.Iam sorry but it takes about 5 hrs to boil them not 2.
Yes, she did and I hated them. They were so sticky and glutinous with not much meat on them. They were a cheap meal ,so thats probably why we had them. I saw them for sale in the local farmers market the other week. She also used pearl barley in stews and soups I used to hate that too, but I do eat it now but never use it in my cooking.
Yes, yes, yes and no.
I loved the way my mom cooked pig's feet, but she would make a kind of gravy to put in it or smother it in BBQ sauce.
at one time the only place I could find them were in meat markets you might try there. Now they have gotten a bit more popular and you can find them at Kroger, HEB, and possibly Randall's if you have one near you. I'm in TX so the might be the same companies but under a different name.
yes she did,don,t know what she put with them as i used leave the premises till they were gone. absolutely disgusting!.
CRUIBINS
12 pickles pig's trotters
1 lg. carrots
1 lg. onion
1 bay leaf
Sm. bunch of mixed parsley & thyme
Water to cover
Salt & pepper
Put all ingredients into a large saucepan, bring to the boil, then simmer for about 2 to 2 1/2 hours. They can be eaten warm from the pot, or cold, when they will be a thick jelly.
A modern refinement is to take meat from the bones, after splitting the foot down the middle. Then roll them in beaten egg mixed with dry mustard powder (about 1 teaspoon for 2 eggs). Dip them in bread crumbs. They are fried in bacon fat on all sides, or heated under a moderate grill, and are delicious. Allow 2 per person.
no, but my grandfather ate pickled pigs feet out of a jar. i thought it was the grossest thing I had ever heard of!!!
