Certainly not a stupid question if you have never tasted them! Forget the fancy recipes, just simmer them for around 3-4 hours, (I used to buy them from a local (not local as in Lancashire) butcher that used to steam them overnight. After getting them home, I would boil them for around 30 minutes to get them piping hot and just tuck into them with salt and fresh uncut bread and butter.) Check to see if your butcher part cooks them or not.
What do they taste like? hard to describe but you eat everything except the bones, the skin is particularly nice even the bits with tufts of hair, and leaves you with sticky fingers. Use your teeth to get the little strands of meat amongst the gristle and gelatine around the toes.
