Help! Ham Bone?

Okay, we had a delicious ham for Christmas dinner, and I've peeled off all the ham I can and stored it away, but I am left with a still rather tasty looking ham bone.

Before people start shouting split pea soup or veggie dishes at me, let me explain:

We don't like soup or stew at our house. :sick: We also are very picky about veggies. :tongue:

Is there anything I can do with this other than that? Someone suggested ham stock to me, but I don't know what I would use ham stock for. :ohwell:

Any suggestions? :bigsmile:

    Ahem... we also hate beans. :blushing: (We do eat healthy though, promise!)

    And we don't have a dog. :indifferent:

    Poor ham bone may have to be thrown out.

    But if you know someone who COULD use it, or make that soup or homemade beans for your church? Or a neighbors dog?

    Do you like pasta?
    If you do, could always make a ham pasta bake

    Okay, you don't like soup, stew, veggies, or beans. What's left?

    So, no, I'm afraid I don't know how to make a fried egg out of a Ham bone.

    See actually, thats why I was asking if anyone else had any ideas. Because I didn't know what else was left. Didn't mean to offend with my not liking certain foods. :flowerforyou:

    You could cook some pasta, then place in a casserole dish or similar, add ham, mix together, cover with a sauce - such as a plain white sauce, cheese sauce, or anything else you happen to have at hand at the time.

    A ham bone is really only good for making stock and stock is good for soups and stews. The only other choice I can think of is to use the stock for a pasta dish. I think there's a pretty good pasta dish made with ham and peas.

    But, if you don't like soups, I'd just throw it out.
