A busy section of highway was closed for seven hours Sunday after a truck tipped over and spilled pig ears, pig feet and grease.

The greasy pig parts created slippery conditions and forced the closure of northbound lanes of the Edens Expressway. The lanes were reopened Sunday afternoon.

A sudden shift in the truck's load caused it to tip onto its side near an entrance ramp in Skokie, according to Illinois Department of Transportation spokesman Mike Claffey. The Edens Expressway connects downtown Chicago to its northern suburbs.

No injuries were reported.

I was just thinking — the Muzzies will have to find a detour. Hoping they go by some roadside cameras.

I didn’t go to the link but curious how the Irish Catholics fit into the story.

Pig ears and feet sounds like dog treats with the ears and Mexican food with the feet.

I love pigs feet Filipino style but the fatty tissue is killer on the gut function.

My pups go nuts when I cook up a pot of pig feet once a year they know I will share.

to each his/her own...
I was raised in the South and L O V E barbecue but they don’t print enough “Ben Franklins” to get me to eat pigs’ feet. LOL

“My pups go nuts when I cook up a pot of pig feet once a year they know I will share?”

You feed dogs pork???

I don’t think you’re supposed to do that???

There is an enzyme sometimes in pork that can give a dog a fatal disease.

Well 25yrs with Labs and not one ever died eating pork.

We had a luau pig and they ate the carcess with no problems.

Now chocolate is a big no no.

Our local store carries oxtails too but the price per package was close to $10 bucks.
That is way to spendy for that part of the pig.

My mom's (IC) family is from Limerick city, which was known as "the bacon curing capital of the world" in the late 1800's. Pickled pig's feet were popular among the Irish where I grew up, and of course, ham and bacon.

Ireland still exports bacon, by the way, but they -- like every other EU country -- have also got a fast-growing immigrant Muslim population.

This would be a good weapon in the war on radical Islam.
