<P> A ham hock ( or hough ) or pork knuckle is the joint between the tibia / fibula and the metatarsals of the foot of a pig , where the foot was attached to the hog 's leg . It is the portion of the leg that is neither part of the ham proper nor the ankle or foot ( trotter ) , but rather the extreme shank end of the leg bone . </P>
