Yes, but it will lack most of the jelly. How thin is this ham cut? I wouldn’t try it with sandwich slice unless really stuck for options.

Yeah, that’s kinda what I was thinking, it lacks the collagen that hock would come with.

  You could add a pigs foot like for holodets but idk how palatable that sounds

    This would work very well. Most butchers will have packs of 1 or 2 pigs trotters - scrub well, heave ONE into the pot with the pease and when cooked you’ll have a lovely gelatinous stock.
    They don’t have much taste - you can make sweet fruit jellies with pigs trotters and very nice they are too - but the collagen/gelatine they release is incredible. Freeze the other trotter for the next time.

    Wondering if Melbcat might enjoy. She wasn’t big on bone broth though because it didn’t have a strong flavour. She likes a meaty taste

  You could try asking for the end bits? Will still lack jelly but can be cut chunky.
