Absolutely too long on the greens, mushy. I prefer a good rusty looking ham hock like we got in Chicago but they dont have those in Atlanta, plus my husband doesnt eat pork, so a rusty looking smoked turkey is good. Rusty means deeply smoked, not nasty. The less water, the better, concentrated likker is better. Spice it up with onions and red pepper.
