then I urge you to buy a ham shank!
I got one the other day, boiled it in water (nothing else) and got loads of ham stock for my pea and ham soup, loads of ham to put in it and also loads of fat to mince and feed the birds (that's why I didn't add anything at that stage) Also the dog got some from it.
It only cost £1.49 from Morrisons butcher counter. The dried peas were very cheap so enough soup to feed at least 10 probably more was just over £2. It's on cooking now and has filled my big stockpot
My dad always used a ham shank in his broth.
