                                Historically, trotters were a staple of many frugal cuisines around the world, making use of every part of the animal. Trotters are not a specific type of meat in themselves, but rather a culinary term for the feet of various animals, most commonly pigs, but also cows and sheep. They are prized for their high collagen content rather than their muscle meat.
