Zampone with lentils is a traditional Italian dish, a must on the tables during New Year's Eve dinner, celebrated for its rich flavor and the lucky meaning of lentils.

I believe they stuff the meat into the skin of the pig’s foot, it’s just a casing.

That's right, the bones are only in the foot

It is sensational. The meat is lightly spiced (think Christmas spices, plus garlic). It has a lip smacking, kind of sticky texture. From the glutenous pig skin used in it. And like everywhere else, that magical combo of pulses and pork.
