There's a surplus of chicken's paws too! Personally, I like wings, but feet...NOT!

My old man loved these, called them back scratchers!

I ate those in China during my working days. Only because they were "special" and an honor to be served.
One story from then. I was in the Port of New Orleans watching a shipment of my companies goods being sent.
They pointed out several refrigerated containers, set to ship to China, full of chicken feet.
A few weeks ago, I scored two spiral hams at Sam's Club. {sell-by date is a month or two from now.}
I plan to smoke them on Saturday and use them as the basis for numerous meals:
- ham slices/baked potatoes
- split pea soup (DH just found a bag of split peas in the baking basket on a high shelf in the pantry
- ham/pasta casserole
- ham fried rice
- ham sandwiches
- ham salad
- 15-bean soup
- chef salad (If we have lettuce)
and some will get put in the food saver and frozen.
Never smoked a ham. This is a cured one? How long do you smoke it and to what temp?

I'm not a big fan of eating chicken feet, but I have used them to make a stock. They make a really thick rich stock since they have so much collagen in them. I freeze it in ice cube trays and a single cube is enough to help richen up a pot of soup.
Do you roast the feet first or add them raw to make stock?

I've added some more TV subscriptions and watched a few episodes of Valerie's Home Cooking and this is what I cooked. It was pretty good. All the garlic cloves reminded me of The Stinking Rose in SF.
