【Guangdong】Peanut Pig Knuckle

Overview

Cantonese people like to express their emotions. In Cantonese, pig's trotters mean something like "handy" or "smooth". It means that everything goes smoothly and things are done without getting in the way. So when making this New Year dish, pay special attention when buying pig's trotters. You must not buy the pig's trotters or pig's knuckles on the left side, because the word "left" means obstruction in Cantonese. Left pig's knuckle means obstruction. Haha, it's quite interesting, right? I hope everyone will have everything go well in 2017! Windfall is yours!
