WOW! Welcome back and welcome to the new site.


The hock is ABOVE the feet. Part of the "forearm" so to speak, just below the arm roasts/steaks and picnics.

Hamhocks are delicious! Before my LC days if I was making a big pot of beans I would add the hocks at the start of cooking. With green beans, since they don't cook for hours on end I would say put the hocks in some water and boil them for several hours then add your fresh green beans. I'm sure they would be good and flavor your green beans very nicely.

LC and feeling better every day!
