You can often see pig's trotters and sheep's trotters. Why can't I see a cow's hoof seller?

Scraps such as pig's blood, duck's blood, and water have become the necessary ingredients for blood curd, blood sausage, and hot pot. Pig sausages and duck sausages are washed away by fishy smell and hot water, and become the ingredients of sausages and delicious fried duck sausages. China people eat pig's trotters in a variety of classic ways, such as braised pig's trotters, roasted pig's trotters and stewed pig's trotters, which are full of collagen and make people drool. There are also sheep's feet, with the best barbecue, a handful of cumin and a handful of Chili noodles. The roasted sheep's feet are dripping with oil and fragrant.

First, the hooves are not widely used. There are very few vendors who make hooves in the market. Although cow's hoof can be eaten, the culture of eating cow's hoof is not popular at present. Butchers generally leave space for purchasing beef that is more popular with the public, rather than choosing big and heavy hooves.

Second, the price of cattle hoof is very high. Originally, the price of beef was relatively high, and the weight of beef hooves was much higher than that of sheep hooves and pig hooves, so the price of beef hooves was only high or not. For many consumers, it is unwise to buy a cow's hoof and go back to cooking.

Third, the handling of cow hooves is very troublesome. Idioms such as "drizzle" and "a dime a dozen" are impressive. Why do you associate ox hair with "fineness" and "abundance"? Because the hair of cattle is really thin and much, even on the hoof of cattle, there is still a lot of hair of cattle.

Fourth, the nutritional value of cow's hoof is very high, and it has been preserved by many cattle killers. Cattle butchers themselves have a good treatment technology for cattle hooves, so naturally they don't have to consider whether the price is high or not.

Fifth, the beef hoof is very strong and difficult to handle. As a part of the "foot", the taste of cow's hoof is heavier than that of pig's hoof. Pig's trotters can be stewed after cleaning, without any peculiar smell, while cow's trotters can't be stewed in clear soup, but can only be stewed in brown sauce, and a lot of seasonings should be added to remove the fishy smell of cow's trotters.
