Pigs ears

Yum or yuck? Huell Houser, a reporter/all around nosey guy/Tennessee escapee on PBS, did a recent segment on pigs ears. He's done different series about California's parks, environment, and hidden treasures. I'm not sure pigs ears are a hidden treasure, but it is just the kind of quirky thing Huell would do a show on. It was pretty amusing to see people's reactions, especially Huell's, to the different forms of pigs ears. You can have them pickled, fried, and braised. I remember seeing pigs ears at the delis in Taiwan, along with pigs feet, pigs snout, and pigs tails. Obviously, nothing was going to waste. And I know you can buy pigs feet and the pigs head at the local Chinese deli, if you have a hankering for them.

If you want to see it yourself, you can purchase the video or DVD here (scroll down to the bottom).
