The pig tails are prepared by Mum, who boils them and then marinades them in a sugary spicy mixture for a few hours. She then places them in a hot oven to crisp them.
It did however inspire me to go get some pig tails of my own, and try and make my very own version of this childhood favorite. My pig tails are sitting in my fridge as I type, waiting for my next moment of porky inspiration.
