Looks great Kemper!
Ate a lot of them when I was a kid. Dad was raised in central Texas during the depression and that was a big part of their diet. He loved them and, knowing that, mom would cook up a pot every week or 10 days. I remember when the butchers almost gave ham hocks away. Now you can buy a good ham for less per pound than the hocks. Like dad, I still love them. Nothing like a bowl of ham hocks & pintos served with some unsweetened corn bread, slathered with butter and some honey.

HH&B are a favorite of mine, and don't ignore Split Pea Soup (SPS) I've bought a couple hams (not hocks) at these Holiday prices, and will smoke them and then make SPS (from scratch) it is an absolute favorite of ours. And of course, let's not ignore the Ham Sandwiches that will come from them too
