When "waste not, want not" crosses the line...

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
Not much meat. But those things are delicious!!! It's like eating the best cuts of ham hence the term ham hocks. I think they are overpriced though.

I might have to try them. One thing that the influx of Asians and Central Americans has done to my area is that at some stores I have seen whole pigs leg with some shoulder attached. How would one cook that?
Sounds like "chitlins" over here in the southern USA. Chitlins are fried though (like everything in the south). Chitlins with tomato sauce would have to be called "Bloody guts".
I went with my wife to the Asian market once and she bought 'Ox tail' for a stew. Never seen that before.
Interesting. Now I might actually have to try one. I like the rest of the pig.
btw pork remains our favorite thing.Sounds like "chitlins" over here in the southern USA. Chitlins are fried though (like everything in the south). Chitlins with tomato sauce would have to be called "Bloody guts".
After all, salami, mortadella, ham...are Italian, mostly.

I grew up eating Ox tail. One thing that I resent about the presence of Latinos is that they know that this is a delicious meat too. What used to be a cheap meat now sells at the same price as sirloin, and at least half of that weight is bone. So how do I now that Latinos are to blame? In the supermarket for quite a while it was the one meat product that was packaged by a Latino company.
The trick to ox tail stew is that it does have to cook for at least four hours. Then the magic comes out of the bones. Who needs the meat when you can use that broth!
Once when we went to a Korean restaurant, I ordered Gaegogi. The Lady across the counter looked at me suspiciously and asked, "do you know what that is?"

Or you could go by the full word "Chitterlings" (how about that my spellchecker agrees)Sounds like "chitlins" over here in the southern USA. Chitlins are fried though (like everything in the south). Chitlins with tomato sauce would have to be called "Bloody guts".
Now the next question, can you spell "vittles" in its alternate spelling? Sometimes thought to be the more "correct" spelling, but that is debatable
Native Americans used the whole buffalo, and Americans got tired of hearing about it. Now they use the whole pig.

LOL! I had to Google that one.
So . . . did they have any?
No, they didn't. I did get a disapproving look from my wife though. She's slowly gotten used to my sense of humor. She said that back in Korea where she is from that the younger generation don't really eat that anymore, but her parent's generation and back it was as common as eating chicken is to us in the USA.
Oxtail is delicious,makes a great winter soup with a little reduced red wine and makes a great stock too.
In England pigs trotters as they were called were poor people's food but like beef cheeks they've become very popular in modern cuisine,I have no desire to have that foot in my mouth though.

What? Me worry?
Had some friends that would dip them in chocolate ice cream first. I never saw the attraction.
"Victuals"...did I win?

I love mortadella but difficult to get here.
