Does anyone else have to do this? My 1st day back at work after paternal leave & collegues are asking for this gingered pigs trotters and eggs... Fortunately I received this link which was a useful explaination to me so I pass it on in case you need to know. The wife cooked some up yesterday and I brough to the office today. Looks unsightly (to me) but it was well received at work.

It is rather greedy for your colleagues to ask for it. Besides, are you asian? If you are not, I don't know why they ask.

Some men were borned dicks.
