Would anybody know if there is any truth in the fact that left hind legs make better Hams than right hind legs !
I have been told that all pigs scratch with their right hind leg and never with their left hind leg, thus making the left leg the better leg to make a Ham with.

The word "plonker" is surrounded by mystic and confusion though the more commonly accepted meaning is the "buyer of an inferior product" as in wine "plonk"

Pig Trotter Poll

For your information 20 % of the people who answered the "Pig Trotter" poll got it right. If you were to purchase pig's trotters they would typically come from the front legs ONLY as the rear legs are split and run through with a gambrel to hang the carcass up by. They are normally sold off for other purposes.
