What is crubeens?

Crubeens are a traditional Irish dish made from boiled pig's feet or trotters. The name "crubeens" comes from the Irish word "cruibín," which means "little hoof."

Crubeens are typically simmered in water with vegetables and seasonings until the meat is tender and falling off the bone. They are often served hot, either as a main course with potatoes and vegetables, or as a snack or appetizer with mustard or pickles.

Crubeens have a reputation for being a rich and flavorful dish, with a gelatinous texture and rich taste from the collagen in the pig's feet. They are a popular dish in Ireland, particularly in traditional pubs and restaurants.
