I've been buying this in Tescos as it's useful to add to omelettes, quiche or just mixed with mayo. But it seems to have disappeared from the metro I go to, and I don't see it on their website. Sainsbury's don't have if in the local medium-sized shop, and it's expensive in Marks and Spencer.
I'd make my own, but I'm not sure I'd find ham hocks at the local butchers.

Pasta, I’d just buy wafer thin ham and chop it up, I doubt it would make much difference the way you use it.

I did think of doing that.
Or I might just get a small gammon and shred it
I like ham hock too and would love to buy a hock from the butchers and cook it myself and not shred it , but it's not often I get near a butchers shop.
Gammon joint. Boil it.

lidl and iceland lidl the best
You’ll get a lot of shredded meat even from a small one, depends how much you need/want, and are prepared to freeze (successfully no doubt).

I really like it a d go through phases of obsession.;)

Meant to say...the packaged stuff freezes well
It does indeed pasta, I have a couple of Sainsburys ones in the freezer so I can make one of those one tray things (gnocchi with other stuff, really tasty).
It used be called pork knuckle, readily available from butchers and Morrison’s raw meat fridges.
Is it not the same as pig's trotters?
Morrison’s do cooked bacon knuckle as well as ribs.
