3259.1 | Same but different | RANGER::PESENTI | Only messages can be dragged | Thu Oct 10 1991 14:21 | 5 |
| It's the same cut of meat. The only difference MIGHT be that the ham hocks
are usually smoked/cured, and the pork hocks might not be. When I do soups
that call for the smoky flavor, I get a slice of smoked ham. It's lots less
fat and calories. To make up for the richness/gelatin added by the hocks,
I use homemade defatted stock instead of the water the recipe usually calls for.

I'm not sure about Mass, but the Honeybaked Ham places around here sell
ham bones at their stores. I would think you could call ahead and ask
them to set one aside.

3259.3 | Pea soup? or Jello?? | KOPEC::ROBERTS | | Mon Oct 14 1991 11:12 | 5 |
| I, also, think a ham bone make a better soup. When I've used ham hocks
for pea soup, I find that the texture is too gelatinous for my taste.
Kinda like fuzzy molten jello... 8^}

3259.4 | Smoke pork chops substitute for hocks | DDIF::FRIDAY | CDA: The Holodeck of the future | Thu Nov 07 1991 10:08 | 3 |
| We've had the same problem finding hocks. A couple of smoked
pork chops works well as a substitute. But they can be hard
to find too.
