About Pork, pickled pork hocks

Pickled pork hocks are lower-leg portions of pork that have been preserved in a seasoned brine or pickling liquid. A hock includes skin, connective tissue, and bone, with meat around the bone; its appearance and firmness depend on the curing and any subsequent cooking. The flavour is typically salty and savoury, with a tang from the pickling process.

They may be sold raw or already cooked, and are often simmered or otherwise cooked until tender before serving. Pickling recipes and curing methods vary, so the term does not specify a single seasoning or finished texture. This is distinct from a fresh, unpickled hock.
