Bill, I wouldn't require a "smithfield" ham per se--- An Edwards, Beale,
Peanut City are all good ( and quite a bit cheaper)
Damn - now you tell me. Well that gives me a good excuse to head back down route 13.
BTW - I really do enjoy some of VA and NC's finest foods. real country ham, real grits, greens, nothing finer then chincoteague oysters, carolina style vinegar based carolina barbacue but boiled peanuts. I don't get that one.
I see these hams when I'm on road trips... Always wondered about them. Whats the deal... Pardon my ignorance but do they need some kind of refrigeration for long periods of time and then come eating time do you cook em or are they ready to eat?
My home blammed pigs are pretty good stuff but I freeze it after cutting it...
