tbh, i am pretty meat-adverse at this point in my 30s, but as a cook, i def won’t give up the usefulness of a ham hock, hating ham due to the weird, congealed cold cuts that i grew up with, i still love the slow cooked bone, it’s mainly the unrendered fat that skeeves me
lol, people love a good tonkotsu for sure, i still prefer a clear broth like shio or just dashi depending on the place, i just don’t like the flavour as much of the bone broth, noodles should be light unless i’m drunk or its yakisoba ;p but bean stew is the perfect spot for a heavy broth, still, i don’t like it for the pork flavour as much as the sodium that ham adds, i basically don’t eat pork unless it’s processed lmao
