This recalls the description in "Little House in the Big Woods" of 
Laura'a favorite pork treat: the tail.  It was scalded and the hair
removed, then stuck on the end of a stick and roasted over the open
fire, sizzling and curling, dripping fat as it rendered.  Seems that
getting there was half the fun.
I haven't tried this recipe yet, either.
