About

This is the ham from the sandwich that started it all, the Ham, Egg ‘N’ Chips. It is also the recipe for a ham hock that would stand up against any piece of cooking you’d find anywhere. You could fill a mind-bending pie, or serve the hock as it is with mashed potato, AND SOME SAUERKRAUT AND MUSTARD. You could set the picked meat in a terrine with pistachios and pickled vegetables. You could win a Michelin star. Do what you want once you’ve made the recipe,
