The standard of a good pig's trotter
The standard of a good pig's trotter is that it is soft and chewy. This is a contradictory opposition. Only when it is glutinous can it taste good, but if it is glutinous, it will taste good. The lack of chewiness makes it tasteless; with the chewiness, the pig's trotters taste fragrant when chewed, but the chewiness is often not glutinous and soft, and the taste cannot penetrate into the depths of the pig's trotters. Pig's feet that are only soft or chewy are not good pig's feet. Good pig's feet are the best of both worlds.
