Yes, it is synonymous with an ostrich hock. Be careful. This is extremely poisonous to eat undercooked. When startled, the ostrich emits a potent, smelly poison that can burn the hair right off of your arm. If you come in contact with this poison, do NOT call poison control. There is no known cure for an ostrich hock poisoning. Your best bet is to suck out the poison with a turkey baster.
Best of luck!

The skin and fat have a very 'unique' smell (not all together a nice one). It smells amost sweaty and smoked. This smell goes away once you have removed the skin and fat and allowed the ccoked meat to cool. I would always suggests asking your butcher to skin it for you. Its remarkably fiddly but they are able to do it for you in seconds!
