I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

But I can't explain it at all! Could you help me understand?

(Other definitions for trotter that I've seen before include "bit of a swine" , "Food for man" , "Pig's paw" , "bit of a pig" , "A slow runner or a pig's foot" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
