P gentleman right, but we are used to the Cantonese people are so called, the front foot after the leg, the North is not. The same call.

W gentleman has misleading ingredients, frozen meat store sales, all one only is pork knuckles (a look at it), since less meat, so more frozen sale. The rear leg (foot) more meat, so used to cured ham, cloud leg, knuckle (salted pig's hand, in fact, is the foot), etc., hands and feet are not divided. I'm a porker, you can go to the market and ask, people who have cooked rice must know that the hand is more expensive than the foot, the hand is measured in catties, the foot is about 10 dollars a hand, the hand must be more meat because it is all of it, the foot is only the lower section, skin and bones. The bone part of the pig's foot is bigger than the pig's hand, the skin is thin and less meat, the frozen meat store has sawed an old 90% of the pig's foot ($10 a pound), picking the one with no toes to braise, it is not good for food, if you want to taste good, you have to buy fresh pig's hand! All pigs have feet, it's only when we compare them with human body that they have hands and feet. If you have to differentiate, the front feet are hands and the back feet are feet. But in fact, they are the same. ,
