So you are implying that he grwew out of this.
The butchers' shops round his way must have amazing window displays.
I am sure there are devotees hereabouts, but wouldn't pigs' feet be a bit crunchy?
Oh, no, not if you know what you are doing!
Pig's feet (or pig's trotters as she used to call them) were a great favourite of my old Granny (bless her cotton socks), along with such other delicacies as lamb's brains and tripe! Mind you, this was back when I was a nipper in the early 60's! And she was in her 80's then!
The pig's trotters had to be boiled for some time, were then served with lashings of salt/pepper and eaten with bread and butter. I recall it being a somewhat messy operation, they being eaten with the fingers as they had to be dismembered and each individual bone gently 'gnawed' to get any nutritional bits off it!
To my knowledge though, she never tried squirrel - though her rabbit stew was one of my favourites.
