I absolutely love pigs trotters, chunks of buttered doorsteps to accompany them, absolute bliss --------- so when I was in a local Asian cash & carry the other day, I espied these tweedy legs that almost resembled trotters! "What are they?" I asked. I think the reply was "sheeps feet" but English was definitely not the first language there, "What do you do with them" I asked rather stupidly, I can't tell you the reply as I didn't understand it myself

Anyway, I bought a couple and boiled them up for supper. They STANK!! and after retrieving them from the boiling water, I tried to find something edible to eat - - but they were all skin and bone - literally!!

Is there anybody out there that can tell me what I should have done with them? Are they edible? or maybe they are sold to cook as stock or something? Has anyone tried them??
