You can use ham hocks for all soups and dishes in which you use a ham
bone. Ham hocks taste a little more smoky and salty.

Next time you make cabbage or sauerkraut, cook it with a ham hock.
When done, cut the meat off, dice it and mix it into the cabbage. Add
some boiled Fleckern, a sort of 1/3 square inch pasta and you have a
nice main dish, For the sauerkraut, I only use the cut off meat. If
there is a lot of meat, use it as you would any other kind of ham, but
you will only have smallish pieces, no large slices.

Make sure that a dog is near by, to be given the rest of the hock.
