Tail

The pig tail contains little meat but is rich in fat and collagen.

Pig tails should be scrubbed and then rinsed well under running water. They can be cooked whole or cut into sections.
Pig tails add flavour and texture to braised dishes made with lean meat, such as game, as well as to soups or legume dishes.

You can order pig tails from many ethnic markets, as well as some butcher shops and specialty grocery stores.
