Piggy feet

Remember those days when your mum use to tell you that pig trotters are bad for your health? It is fatty, it is slimy, but it is irresistible! After years of pig trotters eating, I've always thought that only Asian countries will cook it. But last night after watching Masterchef, I finally realized that pig trotters can be cooked the French way! And for those people that still thinks that pig trotters are bad for your health, read on. 

Facts:  They are rich in collagen! The latest anti-ageing food? That's right, you heard it here first! In New York, the most talked-about new opening of the past couple months has been a Japanese restaurant called Hakata Tonton, where 33 out of 39 dishes contain pig's feet. The owner, Himi Okajima says that, "They are rich in collagen, and it helps your body to retain moisture. Your hair and skin will look better, and it's not just for looking beautiful now. If you begin eating collagen in your thirties, you will look younger in your forties." So the next time before you go for a facial, or plastic surgery for face lift, think of the amount of money you could save by just having pig trotters in your diet. Not a lot of course, always remember the rule of eating. "Not over-eating one same ingredient meal after meal, keep it balanced for a healthier lifestyle." I will post up a recipe of pig trotters soon once i cook it myself.
