It time to buy your hams--

[Thin Blue Line]

Glenn are you talking about what we call up north canadian bacon? When I cut pigs the bacon comes from the belly. Either way I love all of it...hey whats with the WOP comment we gotta eat too you know..

I bought one chritmas before last. It was on a rack at the safeway and I watched it sit for a few months, it got moldier and moldier with the white (nitrite i guess) on the outside. the real ones are cured/smoked and then bagged. well we soaked this one trimmed of the stuff on the outside and you never had better country ham! Chances are the worse it looks on the outside the better it will be insde! used the ham hoc for bean soup!Dam now I'm hungry!

I meant no serious disrespect--- just having some fun with words is all. Give us Southern rednecks some shit--- it's all in fun. I do stand corrected, bacon is in fact belly meat- my bad.
Gerry, I'll me more than happy to pick you up a couple hams. I see Bananna Boy (Gaffman) from time to time and am sure he'd be happy to drop them off to you. Send me a Pm and let me know if you want long or short shank.
The mold and crud on hams is natural and supposed to be there (like mold on good aged cheese). The paper and cloth sack is to keep bugs off the meat while hanging.
The whole point is-- if you don't like ham, aging it will not help you. If you do enjoy this European and Southern US delicacy, longer aging with make the flavor more robust and provide a much better overall piece of meat.

Consider yourself invited to our lease in Tarboro, NC anytime next season (early Oct through end of Dec). I can guarantee you a deer, no ands, ifs, butts, about it. May not be a trophy and may be a Doe (legal all season), but I can guarantee a shot at a deer.

Garry,

Hop in the truck and take a leisurely drive down the ES to the commonwealth of VA. Got all you want at the little roadside stands on 13. I can remember my grandmother buying one every year across the highway at Brook's Jot 'Em Down Produce in Mappsville, VA....unfortunately, it went the way of a lot of other roadside stands and now the building isn't even there anymore.

Anthony - I stopped into 4 of them little yellow shacks today and none of them sold Smithfield hams, I think they were all southhampton hams. So taking Glenn's original post to heart i decided not to buy one. But I did stop at Susan's and picked up a bushel of chincotegue oysters and a 50 pack of cherrystones
