Gammon Joint Soup.

[Theland]

My lovely wife bought a gammon joint, boiled it up with onions and carrots and lentils, and shredded most of the meat, to make gorgeous soup.
Not had that in a very long time, but it was two bowls good, and with the snow outside, and soup inside, the world is a better place tonight.

Neck of lamb? Remember it well. "Scrag ends." Wow! What a taste!

[Mamyalynne]

Lamb neck chops make a great stew when done with barley and veg.

Is shin beef the same as what my mother used to call haugh/stewing steak?

[Mamyalynne]

Yes.

[Mamyalynne]

Hard to find shin now with the bone in, that was the tastiest for flavoursome stock.

[237SJ]

It probably depends on which part of the UK you come from. Stewing steak wasn't shin to us.

[Theland]

Mamya - The butchers on the next corner, "Muffs Of Bromborough," sell just that. Bone in it. (£5/lb).

[Mamyalynne]

Sorry 237sj, I was responding to Haugh/Hough probably derived from Hock?

Stewing steak doesn't really indicate a particular cut.

Theland, brisket used to be a very economical beef buy. Unfortunately it has really rocketed in price, more's the pity. My favourite recipe is this one:

Btw, "well marbled" does not mean fatty. Quite delicious.
