Exactly as in East Antrim, hough is pronounced hough but spelled haugh. It is the leg or hock of the animal. The term haugh is in danger of dying out as the more gentile of people now call it shin beef. But I will still eat haugh soup, fried fadge and soda farls, my Répertoire de la Cuisine will not be altered by faddy chefs' or topical health scares.
