Crispy pigs ears are delicious

I had very good menudo at Spanish Flowers in Houston, which is or was open 24/7.
I had the fireman cape in Lyon at Les Trois Cochons and it had a pretty strong flavor, and I didn’t eat it all. I did have a salad of lentils, beef mouth, and veal feet that’s delicious. (The menu description terms all were unfamiliar except lentils and the dressing, which is the main reason I ordered it.) I had no idea what I was eating until I was halfway through and asked the server.
The ones I had were’t crispy. I’m still open tot eh idea, but haven’t seen them anywhere.
BarneyGrubble – I’m with you on honey mustard, and actually on anything sweet with fatty savory dishes, right down to ketchup – which I only eat as cocktail sauce with lots of horseradish, or as an element in a vinegar bbq sauce.

They were a popular appetizer at an Italian restaurant called Buca in Toronto.
There are several recipes for crispy pigs’ ears online, including a couple at Serious Eats, one on Great British Chefs and one on Epicurious.
Meat cuts are much more appealing in native languages. Yes, “beef mouth” and “veal feet” can be much more delicious than they sound when roughly translated.

Seeing that reminds me of the first time I brought the soon-to-be Mrs ricepad home to meet the family. My mom had picked up some Chinese food from a local market/deli that definitely caters to Chinese, and one of the dishes she bought was braised pig ears/snouts/bellies in bean sauce, IIRC (it was over 40 years ago, so some of the deets are hazy). The STB Mrs ricepad was (and still is) game for just about anything, so she happily dug in and started eating. Until, that is, she saw the piggy snout ‘staring’ up at her from her rice bowl. It wasn’t the snout itself that gave her pause, but the sight of little hairs in the nostrils of said snout. She discreetly passed it to me, and I huffed it down in a jiffy. I’m not sure she’s had pig snout ever since then.

At one dinner where I served chicken, one of the guests asked for honey to go with the chicken. Almost made me gag!
I also didn’t understand the concept of a ham and cheese crêpe with maple syrup drizzled on top; the menu did not specify that. It was….um…what was the word?….VILE!

had the ears off a hog roast pig. Good. never had the sloppy kind. Forgot about the hog roast.
A French host served us an appetizer of pig ‘s ears that was delicious and equally appealing looking. Another served us a (raw) chicken breast ceviche that, while delicious, was so against all of my good sense, I had a big problem getting down. A once in a lifetime experience, thanks.
I love honey on fried chicken.
I didn’t understand why people liked maple syrup on their bacon or sausage until the last 10 years or so. You definitely won’t like the potato gratin with pork loin, Hollandaise and maple syrup drizzle at Benny’s Bistro (in Ottawa). That’s was one of my favourite brunches I’ve had.

Honey (or maple syrup) and bacon is divine as well.

Honey on tiropita/ cheese burek/ cheese pie
Ma-le syrup on bacon was one of the best revelations ever. And on pork sausage.
