Pickled pigs' feet

{{Short description|Pigs' feet pickled in a brine of vinegar or salt}}

Pickled pigs' feet is a type of pork associated with the cuisine of the Southern United States, Mexico, China, French Canada, and Scandinavia.

The feet of domestic pigs are typically salted and smoked in the same manner as other pork cuts, such as hams and bacon. It is common to preserve them in a manner very similar to home canning and processes for pickled vegetables; typically a saturation of hot vinegar brine is used. Such methods allow them to be preserved without the need for refrigeration until the jar is opened. They were once popular in American bars.{{cite book|title=Unmentionable Cuisine |isbn=0813911621 |year=1979 |publisher=University Press of Virginia |first=Calvin W. |last=Schwabe |page=90 }}
