When money was tight and you needed to feed four to six family members
it was necessary to make a meal that was cheap and still good. Many meals
that the Italian peasants made or even other nationalities made used what the
rich didn't want. This mean't using such things as veal shank,and
tough beef cuts etc. Another was pork neckbones which makes such great but
less expensive meals such as spaghetti with sauce and pork neckbones & cabbage.
I would urge you no matter what your income to try this recipe as it is not
only cheap to make but great to eat!
