Hey dave
->  ->
->  -> HN> Ham, in any form is gooood!
->  -> HN> Unless it's turkey ham!
->  ->
->  -> Turkey ham is actually not too awful - sort of smoky sweety,
->  -> not exactly hamlike, but okay for what it is. If you taste
->  -> alertly, you can still detect the turkey thighness, which is
->  -> a good thing.
->  ->
->  hn> I have a strong mental profile of what
->  hn> ham should taste like, and turkey ham does
->  hn> not match that. I have no such strong
->  hn> profile for pastrami, so turkey pastrami
->  hn> is just fine with me... Not that turkey ham
->  hn> is bad in itself...it's just not hammy to me.
-> 
-> So, what does your profile of ham say it should taste like? Sweet, Salty,
-> Smokey, Spammy? Which is it? All are legitimate flavours of ham - and all 
come
-> from different curing processes. The "Amish" boiled ham we get around 
here is
-> quite different from Virginia ham - like Smithfield. Or from sugar-cured
hams
-> like Kentucky hams from Zingerman's. Or from smoked hams like those from 
NB
-> Smokehouse in New Braunfels, TX.
-> 
-> Where do you stand on ham loaves which are "chopped and formed" and 
may contain
-> up to 30% "solution" and which must, by law, be sold as "ham & water 
product"?
-> They taste pretty hammy to me.
-> 
well whooopty do for you.

-> Or do you insist that your ham be on the bone? What is your stance 
on "picnic
-> hams"? Or, for that matter, fresh (uncured) ham?
-> 
I like picnic hams, I like uncured ham, I like bone
in ham...I don't care for boiled ham, I like smoked
ham, I like virginia cured ham, I like honey cured
ham, I like spam on occaision, but I don't call it
ham even though it's hamlike. I don't care so
much for deviled ham. I like serrano ham, I like
proscuitto, I like canadian bacon, I like bacon,
I like chinese barbequed pork. I don't care much
for canned hams that have muck added to them
although the danish had a ham DAK that was
pretty good.
clear enough for you?
