A ham hock (or hough) or pork knuckle is the joint between the tibia/fibula and the metatarsals of the foot of a pig, where the foot was attached to the hog's leg.

Gammon in British English is the hind leg of pork after it has been cured by dry-salting or brining, [1] and may or may not be smoked. [2] Strictly speaking, a gammon is the bottom end of a whole side of bacon (which includes the back leg); ham is just the back leg cured on its own. [ 3 ]
