Personal Notes:
Growing up my dad would make something called boiled dinner but when I would as ask what's for dinner he would say pigs ass and cabbage.. The name just made me crack up as a kid (it was really just ham hocks or sometimes Neck bones) cabbage, carrots and potatoes boiled together.
He added Cloves and it always made the house smell good.. so now when I smell cloves I think of Pigs ass and cabbage and I still love it till this day!
