Fried Pigs Feet

Preliminary treatment. Scrape the feet and wash them thoroughly, soak in cold water for two hours, then wash and scrape again. Split each in half lengthwise and tie the pieces separately in pieces of cheese cloth. Place in a deep sauce pan or kettle, cover with boiling water, add one tablespoonful of salt and simmer slowly until the feet are tender, usually about four hours. Take them from the liquor and set aside until cold. Remove the cloths. They are then ready to be finished in any way. For frying, season each piece with salt and pepper, dip into slightly beaten egg then into bread crumbs and fry golden brown in smoking hot fat Serve garnished with lemons and tufts of parsley.
