happyjillin Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 The last one that I got from The Smoke House was excellent so I have ordered again and it will be ready next week. IF nobody orders this and his excellent REAL corned beef we will loose this "right here" in our own backyard source.

I am merely trying to help him with this endeavour by making these posts. The other being an outstanding corned beef. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes if the test market is a dud and this being it and there is no positive[sales] response then the people on this board that requested either of the 2 products can be faulted for not buying. That concept should not to be hard to understand. I take it from your posts that have nothing useful to add, that you're not interested in purchasing either but thanks for keeping this topic at the top. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was left overs for pork sandwiches and fixings for French pea soup . Are you not a meat eater ? If you aren't your disgust is understandable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice smoked flavor with a lot of meat. They really go well in bean soup. He gets his hocks from Costco, same as the brisket. This is first time in my lifetime that I have ever heard someone say that pork hocks makes them want to throw up? They were considered a delicacy in the mid west USA when I lived there, so this is a surprising statement, to me, to say the least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rafterbr Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 Ham hock is great in a big pot of pinto beans. Maybe some cornbread on the side, now I'm getting hungry. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo1 Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 Lima beans and ham hocks. But specialty is Calico beans (lima beans, white beans, red beans, pinto beans, garbonzas, lentils, green and yellow split peas, black beans, etc.). I boil the hock then remove it a cook the beans mixture in the hock water. Toward the end I put the meat back in with a can of tomatoes and a good healthy squirt of lemon juice. The absolute BEST. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don´t even want to know where the place is, that ham hocks make people throw up? Very sad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I do European. From what I've seen and your description I have zero interest in what you call southern style unless it's southern Bavaria which is far superior and not a waste of a good and flavourful cut of pork. The hock from the Smokehouse is well smoked/cooked and ready to eat. Because we got it in early afternoon I merely put it in the oven to warm up again and then had it with mashed potatos and sauerkraut. It was so tender and juicy that it fell off the bones.

Same here, smoked and cooked is just a different way of preparing it. Boiling is OK too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rafterbr Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 Yo1 is correct, you put the cooked hock in to flavor the bean water later you remove hock and let beans finish cooking before adding ham hock back in, this is delicious. If you have a raw salted hock you simply cook with the beans without removing and this is also good. Tastes in food vary with where one grew up and acquired tastes. I personally do not like french food, it is to rich for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomgates Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 I have always put ham hocks in my blackeyed peas. The one you got at the Smokehouse looks wonderful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
