Finally got my refund and Groupon have said they no longer work with this retailer, did anyone else not get theirs? got stroppy and found the owners details through a credit check and threatened to keep hassling them.

Glad I didn't order it in the end. Sounds like more hassle than its worth.

I've bought the lidl Serrano ham, they vary between 6.5-7.5kg. It is bloody massive, no idea how we're going to get through it all. We're saving it for Christmas, though I think we'll have to buy a proper stand for it as it's so big we have nothing to hold it.

Looking over on HUKD the lidl ones have been recalled/cancelled and rumour has it theres pallets in quarantine.

Some on HUKD mentioned a huge amount of white fluffy mold all over the ham on opening.

Depending on how it looks that isn't a bad thing on cured meat.

Mould isn't a problem on these hams. My Iberico ham gets mouldy all the time; I just give it a wipe with a damp cloth and then rub a little olive oil into it to slow down the growth of more mould.

It's good to add a little vinegar/water solution to your cloth when you wipe. It will help even more.

Yeah I knew that but wasn't sure if it was just people overreacting tbh

In related news my home cured capicola hams should be done quite soon. I'm both looking forward to it and also dreading it as they might be awful

Mine is quite mouldy on one side, it's not just a dusting and is quite furry. I'm guessing that they've just been stored at too warm a temperature, i'm not worried and will just give it a rub down.
