Ham Hock or Ham Fillet for Christmas

[bitofabelly]

Any preference...I love Ham Hock...to me it's juicier and tastier than ham..but I've never actually cooked it. Does anyone do it for Christmas? Thanks 🎄

I love ham hock but I don't see it as interchangable with a carving ham and not something I would do as the centre of a roast or xmas dinner.

We use it to make terrines, to strip down and use as you would pulled pork, to mix into a lentil casserole or cook in a soup or stew.
