How are braised pig's feet typically served in Northern-Style Chinese
restaurants? Dry or in soup, chopped or whole, etc.?

Hey, Dan. Is this dish finger food or are they eaten with chopsticks?

Finger food, I mean you could if you're really good with chopsticks.

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.

Thanks for the reply. I'll be sure to explore LA's real Chinese
places next time I'm there.

My mother-in-law dropped off some chicken wine thing, said it was
good to replenish blood or something like that.

out.
