What's cookin', good lookin'?

In the Northern Hemisphere, typical Western festive foods include things like stuffed turkey, mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce. There's usually snow outside and Mariah Carey and Michael Bublé playing in every mall. In South Africa, we still have Carey and Bublé everywhere, but no snow, and every family kind of decides what their own traditional feast will be. From honey-glazed gammon to snoek on the fire, or even just takeouts, we all just kind of do what we like.

One festive dish we simply cannot recommend enough, though, is pig trotters! No kidding! Sure, they take a helluva long time to cook (about 4 hours), they smell kinda funky and taste even weirder, but with enough salt, pepper, spice and desperation, they're not bad! And the best part is, they're a great source of collagen, which we all know is the latest craze as far as healthy skin and bones is concerned!

Alternatively, you can skip the pig trotters and just check out our main deal on 2 x 700g jars of Harvest Table collagen granules. They probably taste better and won't stink up your kitchen, either.
