Since my sister had her second child it has prompted me to write a short piece on Chinese folklore that says you are not allowed to leave the house for four weeks, but also that they are foods specific for the occasion and in this instance one of them is Pig's Trotters in Vinegar and Ginger that is slowly cook and supposedly promotes good health for the mother.

Here are some web site links so you know it is not just me making it all up.

Anmum.com - good for expelling wind it says

Momsinmind.com - a bit more explanation on the components and their benefits 

Stomp.com - you even get a picture on this page 

There are soups as well. 

It might sound a bit rough but actually I like it. Reminds me of my childhood.
