hopping John (OT)

[Barbara Richmond]

Ric,

Yes, it's Hopping John.  I suppose the recipe varies region to region or
family to family.  Did you ever get the lucky, cooked in coin?  I haven't
figured out if a person had luck by getting the coin, or by not breaking
one's teeth on it.  I have the added benefit that my husband's name is John
and he entertains us by hopping around the kitchen--sometimes without
hurting himself.   :-)

My recipe comes from the Joy of Cooking--the older edition that still tells
the secret to preparing pig's feet and calf's head!.  Can't say that I've
taken
advantage of those recipes.
