Fargon is that cooked hock though?
And are you going on American sized hock? Apologies if you've taken that into account and I'm asking stupid questions. Fargon & Glatt, I do appreciate the suggestions, but if I cook beans I will be the only person to eat them. Baked beans in this country mean something very different. They come in tins in tomato sauce and are never home-cooked (not in the same way as the tinned variety I mean.) Now I love home-made beans, and I like the suggestions. This could make a fair few low cost meals for me. But if there is anything else I can do which might make a meal for my family I'll try that first. I might ask the meat counter if they sell hocks raw. I've found plenty of recipes for that. Am also tempted by the pig's cheeks I know they sell - low priced cut of meat, rich flavour, versatile. Roll on October when I get my 15% discount card. It applies on top of any promotions or reductions... As I'm happy to cook from scratch (or nearly) I can take advantage of many of our less popular/ short-life counter foods. Although I will always try to promote them to customers as I will be part of the profit scheme. Less discounting and as little food wastage as possible increases everyone's bonus. (won't stop me being a canny shopper though)
