It not just about meat. You're supposed to eat everything except
the bone, skin and fat included. At least that's been my

Pickled, they aren't really "greasy" at all. More like gelatinized.

If you want boneless there always pickled pig lips:

Or if you have a nose for the *really* good stuff, check out the
nostrils on these babies:
