Ham...

[Hedge]

Sorry for asking this..

Some sandwich shops where I buy my lunch use ham in the sandwiches that is salty and tasty!. Others use the generic watery stuff.

Now I want ham like this myself...

Whats the best to get from a Deli counter, and What makes some hams saltier than others?

Pre Packed stuff is tasteless in comparison to what Im looking for.

Thanks

Is this pork ham?

Some hams are saltier than others because they have more salt on them.

Try a few, see which you prefer. You can find decent selections in supermarkets. Asda and Morrisons are probably the best options vs price.

Theres a bakers that I sometimes go to for a sandwich and they have a big joint of ham which they shave on a slicer thing. It tastes bloody awesome.

You say "salt on them". Is it part of how ham is prepared / hung (whatever the hell they do with meat) that gives it the saltiness. Or does it vary amongst breeds of pig.

Okay cheers guys. Guess Ill ask for a taste of certain ones in the supermarket.

Is all packet ham totally spoiled by stuff that preserves its shelflife, or does any off the shelf ham actually have a good salty hammy taste?
