Dengcheng Pig's Trotters

　　Dengcheng Ye Family Pig's Trotters are a specialty food from Dengcheng in Shangshui County. Originating in the Three Kingdoms period, they have been passed down through the dynasties without losing their popularity. Especially during the mid-to-late Qing Dynasty, Ye Family Pig's Trotters became a tribute item, entering the imperial court. Several generations of the Ye ancestors worked as chefs in the Qing palace and royal mansions, drawing inspiration from other cuisines to enhance the dish. They have a bright, lustrous appearance, are fresh with visible tendons, and offer a rich, savory meat flavor. The tendons and skin are crispy, delivering a refreshing taste that is not greasy.
