Yes, you can get away with using one slice to flavor a giant pot of whatever you're cooking, so it's basically a staple for me. Vegetarian beans and lentils just don't taste good, imo.

I don't know why, but fucking ham hocks and smoked pork jowls are now like $6 a lb, so I use bacon or neckbones almost exclusively now. Will occasionally buy hams when on sale. I use pork like a seasoning, basically, and most of my meat consumption is chicken legs and thighs. Picrel is about .60c worth of neckbone. I cut them up into pot sized portions like pic related, fish them out and scrape off all the meat to add back to the pot. I do the same with chicken legs, except I save the skin and bones from those to make stock.

get you some of that neck bone
