for the record, canton is in the south, which is where my mother is
from. a pot of cooked pigs' feet is a common gift in the chinese
community when someone gives birth; it's apparently supposed to aid
lactation.

in LA it's a simple matter to sample different regional chinese
cooking. regardless of the region, i've seen pigs feets most commonly
chopped into 6ths or 8ths, served in its braising liquid - and
northern/taiwanese styles tend to lean to some sort of spicy sauce.
