Eisbein (literally: 'ice leg') is a German dish of cornedham hock, usually cured and slightly boiled. The German-language name has associations with the practice of using a pig's leg-bone for ice skating. In southern parts of Germany, the common preparation is known as Schweinshaxe, and it is usually roasted. The Polish dish golonka, '(little shin)' or golonko and the Swedish dish fläsklägg med rotmos are very similar, alternatively grilled on a barbecue; other similar dishes include the SwissWädli and the AustrianStelze.
