Moreover, the mouth is fat but not greasy, soft and delicious. Even the elderly with bad teeth can have two pieces.
Pig trotters can be said to be a regular customer on our dining table. The child does not like to eat meat, but he has a special liking for this pig trotter. He will clamor for eating it in ten days and half a month. Therefore, buying pig's trotters is also the most common thing in our family. At the beginning, I like everyone else. I like to choose white and fat big pig's trotters when I buy pig's trotters. I think it looks fat and tender, and it will definitely taste delicious when I make it back. It was not until I went back to my hometown and saw that the pig trotters were slaughtered in the village. Why did I buy pig trotters differently from what I bought in the market? I asked in detail and found out that buying pig trotters was also knowledgeable.
Today I will share with you the "three-character formula" for buying pig's trotters that our hometown taught me. I hope everyone will buy good pig's trotters in the future:
First word: look at
1. First look at the appearance of pig's trotters: If you see white and big pig's trotters on the market, it may not be delicious, fat and tender. In order to make the pig's trotters look more attractive, some butchers will soak the pig's trotters in potions. The pig's trotters soaked in the potion will be bigger and whiter than normal pig's trotters. The normal pig's trotters should be slightly yellow or have a faint blood color after hair removal.
2. Look at the hoof petals of pig trotters: The hoof petals that have been soaked in the potion will open slightly because the potion is soaked in size; the hoof petals of pig trotters that have not been soaked in the potion are combined together, which is what we say, the two hoof petals are combined together like "fighting".
3. Look at the tendons: Look at the cross-cutting of pig's trotters and you will understand that generally the thorns are the hind hooves. The flesh of the hind hooves is relatively woody and fatter. If it is the front hooves, there will be a thick tendon, and the flesh of the thorns is tender and more delicious.
4. Look at joints: Because many butchers now remove the tendons of the front hooves, it is difficult to distinguish. At this time, you can look at its joints, because the main movement amount is on the front hoof, so the joints of the front hoof are curved; the movement amount of the rear hoof is not as heavy as the load bearing weight, so its joints are straight. This is also the reason why the front hooves are delicious and the rear hooves are not delicious.
Second word: Touch
When buying pig's trotters, we can touch the pig's trotters with our hands. If the pig's trotters are sticky and hard, it is soaked in potion; on the contrary, if the pig's trotters are not sticky and softer, it is normal that they have never soaked potion.
Third word: Smell
In addition to looking at pig's trotters and touching pig's trotters, you also need to smell pig's trotters at the end. Pig trotters soaked in potion smell a faint smell of potion. Some of them will cover up the fishy smell of pig trotters themselves after soaking for a long time. This is something that has been soaked in potion, so don’t buy it. If it only smells fishy smell of pig trotters, it means that there has been no potion. Do you understand the "three-character formula" above
? In fact, it is to look at pig's trotters, touch pig's trotters, and smell pig's trotters. Although pig trotters are delicious, you must pay more attention when purchasing them and learn these "three-character formulas" to allow you to buy healthy pig trotters.
