Pig ears??? :-o
Lynn gets stuff from the food bank, and it's not unusual for them to put
stuff in the boxes that nobody wants... She gifted me with a package of frozen and cleaned pig ears this morning! :-P Something I would NEVER buy! I asked her why she did not just cook them up for her rottweilers and she said that since I do eat pigs feet, she thought I might be interested. Thanks. <bleah!> So, now I have this package of about 1 lb. of frozen pig ears. I'm thinking about just simmering them until they are soft, then letting them cool and offering them to my own dogs. I know that my border collie would probably be delighted. ;-) All 4 dogs enjoy the smoked/dried pig ear chewies from the feed store, as well as the freeze dried pig snouts. Anyone else know what these are good for? TIA, K. -- >,,<Cat's Haven Hobby >,,< http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...user id=katra |

What is the consistency of them when they are done? I normally do trotters with white northern beans, or lentils.

An Asian grocery store down near Cincinnati has them in the take-out section. My guess is that they've been braised for a long time in a savory sauce, probably a combination of five spice powder, soy sauce, sherry, garlic, and oyster sauce. They let it cool, then slice thinly and sprinkle with minced cilantro. It's pretty good, the ears take on the flavors of the sauce and have a slight crunch to them because of the cartilage. Ariane |

Pig ears??? :-o
The Brazilians use them in a traditional Sunday fare. I do not know how
to spell it but just as a way to remember it I refer to it as, " Frez Whader." It is very delicious and quite a substantial stew-like meal. Please forgive my phonetic crash-up...... I wish too, that I had the recipe to give you. Just a Jeanie |

There was a Mexican restaurant near where I lived in Ohio whose owners/cooks were an aged couple from Guadalajara and produced some of the best food I've ever eaten. We became quasi-friends and once they suggested they prepare us chicherones on our next visit. I became fixated on them for the rest of the time we lived there, calling and pre-ordering them on almost every visit. The pig's ears might just be similar. |

Pig ears??? :-o
Pig ears??? :-o From: Katra Lynn gets stuff from the food bank, and it's not unusual for them to put stuff in the boxes that nobody wants... She gifted me with a package of frozen and cleaned pig ears this morning! :-P Something I would NEVER buy! I asked her why she did not just cook them up for her rottweilers and she said that since I do eat pigs feet, she thought I might be interested. Thanks. <bleah!> So, now I have this package of about 1 lb. of frozen pig ears. I'm thinking about just simmering them until they are soft, then letting them cool and offering them to my own dogs. I know that my border collie would probably be delighted. ;-) All 4 dogs enjoy the smoked/dried pig ear chewies from the feed store, as well as the freeze dried pig snouts. Anyone else know what these are good for? TIA, K. RESPONE: No ideal about how to use pig ears and I doubt people who receive them know what to do with it either. DAMN shame this is the crap those food banks are giving to people who are in need especially with children. |

Once they are cut up, you probably > can't tell the difference anyway. Interesting idea..... :-) Pressure cookers are handy for stuff like that. I will probably not get around to trying to cook these for a couple of weeks since I have to fly to Miami for a week starting next Saturday for a training seminar. For something like this, I need a weekend to take my time with the spicing and flavoring. I'll let everyone know how they come out. Thanks to all that responded!!! :-D K. -- >,,<Cat's Haven Hobby >,,< http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...user id=katra |

I'll let everyone know what happens with these. ;-) I like chicharones too. Funny thing, for those that have read Atkins "The New Diet Revolution". In his section for the "fat fast" (which is something I've tried and I can lose nearly 4 lbs. per week doing it!) is serving chicharones with sour cream........ and caviar. <G> Talk about the sublime with the rediculous! Unfortunately, since the fat fast is so little food, you are hungry all the time even tho' it's 1,000 kc per day. But it works fast! It's just hard to stay on it for more than 5 or 6 days.

Let's see, be prepared for most of your jewelry to set off the metal detectors. Uggh. You already know to take out your pocketknife. Oh, metal nail files - put in your checked-through luggage and no lighters. My BIL, last year, bought one of those very special Collibri (sp?) lighters -as in $ 85.oo ! - and he was told it was a "torch" and it was forbidden to take onto the plane. He was taking a day trip for business so he didn't have any luggage to check it through (but even so, that may have been a no-no... I don't recall). Make sure you keep your ID handy - you'll be asked for it a couple of times. If you're flying through (connecting) Atlanta, you'll be taking off your shoes when going through the security check point. Pack yourself a little something to eat since you won't see a meal onboard. Lastly, since flights to Florida can be quite full, do try to be at the airport no less than one hour before your departure. HTH, Cyndi |

Kewl. ;-) I figured on the metal nail file thing and bought some emery boards. Gotta keep those fingernails in shape. <G> Guys may not understand... No lighters.
