Hi Dave,

 DD> Here's on that doesn't call for brewski:

 RH> Might be for the good, don't know until we try.

 DD>       Title: Crispy Pork Knuckle (Czech Veprove Koleno)
 DD>  Categories: Pork, Vegetables, Herbs
 DD>       Yield: 2 servings

 DD>       4 lb (2 kg) Pork knuckle; raw,
 DD>            - w/skin-on

 RH> First, find the knuckle--not a common item in today's supermarkets.

 DD> Possibly I'm fortunate in having two stores whose fresh meat offerings
 DD> are all "service meat". Magro's moved to Springfield from a nearby
 DD> small town when the city fathers there got their noses out of joint
 DD> over Tubby Magro running a slaughterhouse amd offering retail meats to
 DD> the public.

I know there's a halel butcher in Raleigh, think there's another one
down there also but can't say for sure.

 DD> There was some neighbourhood resistance in Springfield with
 nrighbours DD> of the new location worried over smells and the noise of
 trucks making DD> deliveries of pork chops "on the hoof". Tubby moved
 inton the defunct DD> Eagle supermarket building six years ago and
 there have been no DD> neighbour complaints.

And doing right well for himself it sounds like.

 DD> And, of course, there is my beloved Humphrey's which has been doing
 DD> business at their "same old stand" since 1915. The neighbourhood
 DD> has changed around them but nthe soldier on, winning the "Beat
 Meat" DD> category in the annual nReader's Choice" and "Best Of" pools
 in both DD> the daily (State Journal-Register) and weekly (Illinois
 Tines) DD> newspapers.

There was a butcher in the San Tan Valley area but we never got over to
his place (The Pork Shop) when our daughter lived in that area. Maybe we
ought to check it out--make a day trip of it as it's near an olive
grove/shop--next time we're in AZ.
