A usually derogatory phrase from Northern Ireland. Also spelt ‘hoker’. A hoaker is someone who roots around in a place where they shouldn’t be rummaging, e.g. under someone’s bed, in someone’s bag or bins etc.

“Hoakin’ the bins are ye? Ye durtay hanillin ye”.

“What are you hoakin’ for the day?’

“Go and have a hoak for it, hoaker”.

The field hands of slavery times and the soldiers in the War Between the States baked it on a shovel or hoe held to the open flame. When made of good, sweet, water-ground cornmeal, it is crisp and palatable, much like Mexican corn-chips.

It is made simply of cornmeal, salt and water, very thin in texture, and was fried in a skillet if one had fat for frying or often in a Dutch oven or over a hearth or camp fire.

This information comes from "Cross Creek" ( Florida), a book written by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, author of "The Yearling".

Hocake was a poor man's version of cornbread. He had no eggs or flour.
