Any suggestions would be great. Thanks. Thu Mar 27 09:18:21 -0700 2008 107102 uberathlete 1 3533062 I am not sure you can specify "leg" bones in particular, but any chinese grocery (or korean for that matter) would have pork soup bones.

There's another one on Dundas West, but the Bloor location is more accessible by subway. Thu Mar 27 14:55:46 -0700 2008 3534246 165187 futronic 1 3534944 Portugese butcher shops.

I would recommend them over the Chinese groceries at Dundas Spadina area which are questionable in terms of cleanliness.

I appreciate it. :) Sun Mar 30 11:36:27 -0700 2008 3532971 107102 uberathlete 2 3543220 `You can broaden your search to include pork neck bones and pork hocks or knuckles, plus a foot or two, all low cost and available uncured. Sun Mar 30 12:08:05 -0700 2008 3543136 56131 jayt90 3 3544394 Go to T&T supermarket or any of the Asian supermarkets. Sun Mar 30 20:39:01 -0700 2008 3543220 175304 Popdoggy 3 3547372 It is Pork Neck Bones that are most economical and most used, that said, I cannot comfort myself in the taste of stock from Pork Bones! Let us say that Beef and Chicken bones fight at the top for soup bases, then include a great Vegetarian --- but Pork Bones are way down, down at the bottom it seems and certainly for me!!!! Example, I love spicy extra hot flavours and the dull blank uninteresting thud of pork flavour so loved for Korean Pork Bone Soup fails me. That same extra heat would destroy the exotic Pho, etc. Now Smoked Pork Hock create a completely different soup, with depth and flavour!!! Very interesting indeed!!

Also have two very meaty chicken backs for 1.29 if you're looking to make a universally favoured stock. Mon Mar 31 13:00:53 -0700 2008 3532971 42449 mrbozo 1 3548069 I agree with the group - chinese markets are the only place to go - what was Big Land Farms on burnhamthorpe in Mississauga works well - I disagree about the broth however - pork broth is light and subtle and very tasty in the right applications. Mon Mar 31 21:04:41 -0700 2008 3532971 178869 juliewong 2 3583178 No doubt many people enjoy pork stock and the way you describe it, the soup would most certainly be enhanced. Tastes are certainly individual as we can tell from all the various postings. I neglected to also mention how good fish stock can be! Suppose I just might as well surrender to the fact that pork broth just never ever yet made it for me! I won't go hog on it!! Thu Apr 10 21:08:11 -0700 2008 3548069 13563 Jar 3 5152902 Then you'll probably not enjoy authentic ramen, as most broths for it contain pork broth.
