    There aren't many dishes more satisfying than one made with pork shanks. I've done a few and want to do alot more this coming fall/winter. This one looks as good as they get, slow cooked and done with attention and care.

    Hi Vic, I frequently see porkshanks at my local supermarket but I hadn't a clue what to do with them if I bought them. I now have a recipe which looks delicious and easy enough for me to try. (!!!) Thank you for the recipe. I'd be honoured if you'd accept my cooking friend invite.
    My thanks

    I just sat down at my computer to put on some music to cook by, and thought that I would check some e-mails, but there was some freakish gravitational force that made my mouse click on grouprecipes. I guess I know why now... as usual, your recipe truly appeals to me. This time, you did it with the fingerling potatoes -- so rare to see those in recipes -- but, why am I not surprised that of all people -- you would use them.

    Now I must go and attend to business with the thought of pork shanks fresh in my mind :-)

    Thanks for the post -- you're great!
