Crubeens

Crubeens are an Irish dish made of boiled pigs' feet which are then typically battered and fried. They are traditionally eaten by hand, like corn on the cob. The Irish singer Liam Clancy references them in a preamble to the song The Galway Races, and they are mentioned in the lyrics of some versions as an example of food available at a horse race. Crubeens can include the pigs' calves, and can be consumed fried, broiled, baked and in other preparations.
