Alison this week’s newsletter got me thinking and I’m not sure if you’ve had it before but i think you would love this brazilian dish called feijão tropeiro made of beans and collard greens and yucca flour. it would also taste great with leftover ham

Are there sources for ham bones other that creating your own by making/buying a ham and serving it to friends and family? Can you get on from a butcher?

Often yes, just ask! Or else, they’ll def have ham hocks which work well too

Smoked pork neck bones are also wonderful. I love this use for fennel.

Thank you so much for this, we read it aloud in the car while we drove home from my moms house and laughed a lot 💗 can’t wait to find a ham bone in nc!

Had so much fun with the ham party for Xmas dinner! WaldenLocal farm.com so good bone awaits with beans soaking - womensbeanproject.com - when the newsletter came. Of course I have tons of celery because I too love celery which was affirming being a follower here…

You enhanced my cooking fun life the past few years. Thanks.

Thanks so much for this Alison! I got a whole ham from Snake River Farms and made my first ever ham for Christmas dinner using your ham party recipe. It’s was a huge hit… multiple people said it was the best ham they’d ever had!

I’m using the leftovers for a ham and vegetable soup for dinner tonight 🥰

Great timing. Our bone-in, 16 pound Iowa-small-farm ham was delicious, thanks to your recipe. Tonight we will enjoy ham and Pinto beans. I added some leftover ham drippings to make it even richer.

Would there be a good substitute for the Chile de arbol? I don’t have any on hand but hate to miss out on the flavor I’m sure they add!

The disclaimer at the end about saving bones made me lol.
