If it is used for cooking or stuffing, it will undoubtedly be better to eat the front legs, because the front legs will move more frequently, so their meat quality is more delicate and the fat distribution is more uniform, which is suitable for this cooking method. The hind legs are suitable for making shredded pork or soup, because the hind legs are basically lean meat, which is convenient and delicious to make. A little pickling with cooking wine before cooking can be processed well.
The biggest difference between them is that the distribution ratio of fascia is different. Compared with the front leg meat, the fascia is slightly more, and the front leg cavity is composed of dozens of muscles, which may be closer to the taste needs of the public in all aspects.
Therefore, when we usually buy pork legs, we'd better choose the method of distinguishing the front legs and the front legs: the rear legs will be square, the front legs will be fat and thin, and there will be some oil layers in the middle of the fat.
