I think the pig's tail is the best part of a pig's body. There are many ways to make it, such as marinating, braising, cold salad, etc. Every way makes people drool, and the way to make people want to eat the pig's tail the most is the preserved pig's tail.
nowadays, pig tails are generally short, leaving only the section attached to the pig's body. This kind of pig tail has more meat, relatively speaking, its taste is worse than that of long pig tails, but it is cheaper in price. I don't know why pigs have to cut off their tails, how painful pigs are when they are cut off, and how annoying it is for us foodies to have no thin tails to eat.
At ordinary times, we seldom buy pig tails to eat. It's really too expensive to buy pig tails only for tens of dollars a catty.

Every pig tail eats the skin and meat, and the bones are sucked in the mouth for a long time, so we are reluctant to throw them away.
