i like a good pot of hocks n beans. i usually used the smoked hocks but along side the hocks in the case was the smoked neck bones. absolutely delicious! i prefer the 15 bean cajun mix at wally world. the neck bones cooked down in the crock pot and wow are they good. gotta have another bowl! and famous daves corn bread mix!!

Talk to me ol hand

Only thing better than bean soup is bean soup with 15 different kinds of beans.

beef neck bones are also good
great way to start a soup

Black Eye peas on Wednesday , using ham this year but neck bones work well also.

the beef leg bones are also good

Have an Arm Roast for New years eve , probably toss the bone in black eye peas in the morning.

Do you guys grow any of your own dry beans...?

You guys are killing me!
Pork hocks are rare around here almost like pickled pigs feet!
If I do find some , they aren't smoked enough.
Have to add liquid smoke to get any real flavor .

Same with a boiled cabbage dinner, the pork hocks aren't smoked enough.

I usually grow some. Pinto, Jacob's Cattle and Vermont Cranberry.

15 bean cajun mix from Walmart...going to have to try that thanks The Nett Guy.
I know we have a ham bone in the freezer just waiting for the pot.

Soup of any kind sounds good. Now I’m inspired! First time I made soup from bones I was a teenager and I wanted to make the soup they had in Princess Bride

I have generally not grown pinto because I think they are just too common. I did grow some Jacob's Cattle a year or two, I can't remember why I didn't go forward with that one but maybe I should. I grow cranberry beans but where I got started with them they didn't call them "Vermont" unless you got them from the Vermont Bean company

You kidding me..? Ohio is generally in top 10 for pork production and pork hocks are rare..seems off. Better go get ya half a hog at a neighborhood farm

i use neckbones also as hocks have gotten crazy priced here when you can find.

dont get me started on cabbage. i also picked up a corned beef and some cabbage. probably my favorite meal. love it. kinda pricey. oh and lotsa garlic.

I have in the past , a Cherokee purple that was a dual purpose fresh eating and dry bean

Ufda for gassy

we eat cabbage every week 1-2 heads between the 2 of us
people that think cabbage gives bad gas it doesn't seem to be the case as long as I am not eating sugar , gas doesn't seem to be an issue even eating a pound of cabbage a week or more.

if you corn your own meat you can do the cheapest cut of meat available like a chuck also venison and I am sure pork but would work as well.

Was going to try some venison soon, i've never done it before. Care to share your recipe??

Thanks

you should try perpetual pot
also called forever soup
endless pot

cool that you always have something hot and ready to eat , you add new ingredients right after you eat or before bed.
