Hehe.. glad to know there are other Little House fans out there!
Did anyone ever want to pour maple syrup on snow to make maple candy too?

How To Cook Pig Tails
This remindes me of Little House on the Praire.. I think one of the first books (the Big Woods one?) when Laura takes the pigs tail, sticks it on a stick and rotates it over an open fire.... I always wanted to do that when I was younger!
The book also mentioned taking a pig's bladder and blowing it up for toy. Not as delicious. :)

Star- If you have a car, go to Ranch 99 in Emeryville, it'll take you maybe 10-15 minutes from Berkeley plus there is tons of parking and it's convenient. 99 is sort of like an Asian Safeway.
OR, if you want to be more adventurous, go to Oakland. Parking will be a hassle, but the selection is better. Take the Jack London/downtown exit and turn left (away from Jack London, so away from the water). Maybe 2 blocks later you will see tons of Chinese markets and things: park and walk around and see what you can find.

BTW, I one a copy of Fergus' book the first time I entered a "Cook the Book" drawing. Yes, they really do award the prizes. Some of the recipes in the book I wouldn't eat with your lips, but some are really exciting. The downside is finding a butcher who will supply the necessary parts. To each his own...

This is soooo... reminicient of my childhood. My dad cooked tails about twice a month. Cooked in a pressure cooker with water, rutabegas, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. We'd eat them in a state that is similar to your first "cooked" picture. If there were any leftovers the next day, we'd dip them in pancake batter and fry them up for dinner on day two. I'd almost forgotten the "jelly". You ought to try spreading that on toast in the morning. Yum! The braised version pictured here looks absolutely beautiful but I'd still opt for batter dipped over breaded... Yes, @Cathy, the long ones are incomparable; the shorties just won't do. I love to tell people that they taste just like chicken...
...necks ;~)

Ooohh...that's easy.... Godiva's rasberry filled chocolates, glass of champagne (okay, two glasses) and a long hot bath. Heaven.

The Little House books are my strongest pig tail association, too!
@ chlamers - I have always wanted to make maple candy in the snow. I think I'll make it the next time it snows (if that ever happens again).
