If you've never had pigs trotters before, this exceptional recipe from Bryan Webb is a must try. The delectable richness of these pork and ham morsels, fried until crisp on the outside with a juicy interior, belie the fact they are the traditional fare of Irish farmers. Known as crubeens, this recipe lifts humble ingredients to culinary heights, but it takes some work: the trotters and ham need to cook for 3 1/2 hours in the first instance and, once shaped, must set overnight. Soda bread also derives from lean times when eggs and butter were expensive luxuries.
