Pork ears

Perhaps for some it will sound rather strange, but both in the variety of recipes for cooking and the range of their distribution, dishes based on pig ears do not compare with the huge number of beer snacks. Take, for example, baked, smoked, fried, pressed or pickled pork ears (in soy sauce, red oil, honey, vinegar, garlic dressing, spices). In addition, they are even consumed raw - for people who know this sense, such pork ears are among the delicacies.

And they know a lot in pig ears in Belarus, Lithuania, Korea, China, the Philippines, Germany, the Czech Republic, and Ukraine - in general, where the descendants of wild boars are revered. By the way, even in those countries where pigs are not given due honor, to put it mildly - in Tatarstan or Israel - beer is eaten with great pleasure by their imitation - layered salted cookies, which are made in the form of pig ears.

The fact is that this statement, as a rule, can be heard from the lips of those people who have either never tasted pork ears, or have not tasted them where they are masterfully prepared. Therefore, connoisseurs advise starting acquaintance with pork ears in decent establishments - perhaps this product will certainly take one of the leading places in your hit parade of excellent beer snacks.
