Response: I guess hamhocks are in a lot of cultures from the looks of this thread. Hamhocks are the pig's legs without the foot attached. My mom used to use the smoked hamhocks to make bean soup; however, my mother-in-law (whom I call Mama) is the one who really introduced me to regular hamhocks...not smoked. (If you are curious about our nationality, Mom and I are white Yankies and Mama is 100% Chinese.)
Mama boils the devil out of the hamhocks in rice wine, (White wine, vodka, or rum if no rice wine is available.) garlic, salt, and soysauce. Yum...my! Are those hamhocks brown and tender.
