Our friend Hilton just rang to say according to his research Le Jarret de Porc — the part of the pig I cooked and posted on today– is not Hand of pig; it is Knuckle or Hock of pig!
He said he enjoyed eating it nevertheless!
And added for good measure that the French expression jarrets d’acier meant strong legs [legs of steel].
Knuckles/Hocks!
Apologies for that.

Ehmm…. but it was a pig, right?
(sorry, couldn’t resist)
Pig-it was–though Meredith thought it looked like lamb.
Be reassured it was pig!
Ahh… now I can sleep peacefully….;-)
Oh my gosh! I might have eaten the wrong thing!
But did you enjoy it?!
