NE Boiled Dinners either use corned beef or a smoked shoulder. It was a fairly inexpensive meal that got a lot of mileage.
Growing up, we always used ham. It also included potatoes, onions, carrots, cabbage and any other root veggies you wanted, like turnips, rutabagas, and parsnips.
The leftover ham bone was used to make pea soup. Some of the leftover ham & veggies (sans the cabbage) were put through a meat grinder to make hash. This was always my job as a kid...to grind the meat & potatoes.
In addition to the boiled dinner, I make something similar with smoked sausage, potatoes, cabbage, onions & carrots. Use the liquid to make a mustard sauce to go with it. Much quicker version but still very tasty!
