I could eat that, don't know about the neckbone thing though..

We eat pork neck chops, no veins/artery on them, you would not boil them
either. Grill, fry or bake in an oven.

What exactly are you going to do with the neckbones?
Are you cooking some sort of a stew? Soupstock and meat at the same time?

Just curious.

I slow-cooked the neckbones a couple of hours and then let them cool
enough to strip the meat from the bones. I put the meat back in the
crock pot with the juices and added a pack of gravy mix and let it
simmer another couple of hours, then just spooned the gravy/neckbone
meat into a cup and ate it and LIKED IT. :-D Don't tell my
doctor. ;-) Just kiddin'. Ain't got no fancy doctor.

I've been few times to a party where there is an entire pig done in
a spear over fire. That has always been very good. Not tasted the
neck though.

The neckbones have some of the most tender meat of all on them. I
understand how they sight of the neckbones with the veins and stuff
there can kind of put someone off from the idea of eating it, but
that's ok because it just means the price of the neckbones is lower
because of that and I can afford it more easily. :-)

Jan, I once pulled a tooth for a friend of mine, but that's about as
close to "surgical help" as I'm willing to do or I'd say I'd try to
help you out. hahaha!
