which shithole country are you in?

i can get 5 or 6 lbs of ham hocks for less than $5 in the states

>>9407138
substitue about 1/3 of one of those cheap processed hams cut into 3/4 inch cubes, be advised, turkey ham takes on a weird texture when you do this.

>>9407170
I'm in the states

>>9407167

>>9407172

Not the same, but not too shabby. You can also sub in a rasher of cooked bacon cut into 1" pieces or any really cheap cut of beef or pork.

7 bone steak, blade steak and and flank steak all work pretty well if you sear them first.

>>9407196
liquid smoke works good also but I really want the real deal

>>9407187
is that in Canada?

>>9407209

Brown off the beef seasoned with salt and pepper in a skillet in batches and transfer to slow cooker when browned. Add onions to skillet and cook until translucent. Add mushrooms, tomato paste, thyme and bay leafs to skillet and cook for a few minutes until tomato paste turns rust colored. Add wine to skillet to deglaze. Bring to boil and reduce by half then add contents to slow cooker. Add carrots, marrow bones to the slow cooker and cover with stock or water. Cook on low for 8-10 hours. Switch to high, add barley and cook another 30 min to an hour.

I've been away for a couple of years. From the forced microwave mac & cheese and the McChicken memes I see that the tone of the place has gone to hell.
