Hi all,

after some advice,

picked up a joint of gammon reduced in a certain supermarket - begins with a T :P

So when I got home I boiled it up and now it's all cooked and sliced ready for the taking.

I fancy it in a sandwich but have no butter (ah the student life)

Is it okay to have tomato sauce on it or mayo?

I guess not but would like your opinions!

Ta,

Tom
 
Unfortunately yes,

Silly me.....

I am actually ashamed of myself for this

Come to think of it, I could just beg/borrow/steal some chips from my flatmates. Just didn't fancy chips
 
It just sounds weird, I'm not a big tommy sauce or mayo fan.

Surely it's not that strange?
 
You eat what you want to eat with it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with tomato sauce. I personally would prefer a nice English mustard (Taylors is great) or perhaps a Dijon. Tommy sauce is pretty good for cutting through the richness of some foods but if it helps you to enjoy the gammon you have cooked then go for it :)
 
You should have gone down the awesomeness of gammoning recipes. Brine it for 12hrs in water and salt.
Then stud it with cloves, chuck in a big pan with an onion chopped in 2, a couple of bay leaves, 2 star anise, cinnamon stick, topped up with half cider, half water just to cover it and then cook it (time depends on weight).

Then take out, slap on the oven and create a glaze with wholegrain mustard and honey and plaster on the outside, and bake for about 20mins, baste again after 10.

Best sandwich fillers. Serve with pickle or chutney.
