My Hammy!
One of my favorite things to eat is spiral cut ham with a nice sugar glaze of some sort. I could live on it if I had to and oh would the living be good. If I had to die by choking I hope it is on spiral cut ham. I just love the stuff. I only ever get it a few times a year because it is a big ham and it only happens at Easter and maybe one other time of year like Christmas.
Recently on my trip to Detroit to visit my love Janine on her birthday a spiral cut ham was served from a local meat company called Dearborne Ham. Wow was it good! It was so good I had to have it to eat a few times after the primary meal. They served it in a way I had heard of but never done myself personall. They just served it cold right out of the pack. No warming up or anything. Open and eat. Of course it is cured and as such it is safe to eat like that. I am not saying do that unless it says "fully cooked and ready to eat or serve" on it. Don't take my word for it. I just know the ones I have gotten have been like that. It was great to have it cold. It is much like how I enjoy it after the initial meal anyway. I had a delicious plate of it with Janine while enjoying game 3 of the world series out there in fact. What a great evening that was!
Since I have come home I myself have tried this serve cold technique. The good news is that I find I love this. The bad news is that I find I love this. I don't need to be eating a ham every week even though it tastes so good. So far I have gotten two. The first was a smaller sugardale ham. It was really good and it came with the packet of stuff you warm up on the stove and then glaze it with. Very tasty. It was also boneless or butt portion. The second one I tried was a cooks ham. This came with a glaze packet that was more like honey that you just wiped on the ham. It was also a much bigger ham and it was a shank portion so it had a bone. So far the cooks ham is the better one but sadly they only come in larger sizes. Even so it was the same price as the smaller sugardale ham. I also noticed there are several more kinds of spiral cut ham. The holidays mean they have lots of these. There is a carando I may try and then a hillshire farm too. We will see. I honestly should just stop here and not have any for a while. Let's see if I can!
