Ham and Pork: What the HECK are they?
So, ham and pork both come from a pig. If you roast a pig on a big roast where you tie it's legs on a pole you are making a pork roast... so none of the meat is ham. So where does ham come from? Is it because of the way it's cured? Is it the meat from a certain part of the pig? And I guess I don't really understand bacon much either.
Please help solve the case!

I think that pork means pig. It's the adjective that will go before loin or roast or whatever slice of meat that you get from the pig, except you don't say pork ham when you make a sandwich. Hmmm...it might be where it comes from and how you slice it. Cows...beef...steak...tenderloin...top sirloin...chuck...roast...jerky.
Hmmm...that's a great question. I will ask Will. He knows everything.
Could this be of help?

I always thought Hamhocks was one of Mom's made up words.... Like: knee knocks, boobadoobas, cop coop ceep, bra brew....etc.
