BTW, I was at the grocery store the other day and I thought about you. The had samples of "Blueberry/Cinnamon" sausages. Not my favorite, but I remember you talking about making them.

You guessed it. "All the meat is fresh, nothing stale or old"....... ..... ...... ...... I just walked away :roll:

bigwheel said:Well from whutever the proposition is proposed making your own cured ham aint a good idear. First of all it aint all that easy to find fresh hams as yall are figgering out..plust there is folks out there in the world who makes em cheaper than you can which is much mo betta that whut you got in mind.
Well BW I have to disagree with you....first it's pretty easy to find fresh hams...all I've had to do is to pick up the phone and place and order at my local BJ's...give them enough time and they will be happy to order one. Secondly as to price it's a lot cheaper for me to do my own then buying an already cured and smoked ham...I'll let you know what the cost per lb was...Third....I'd put my ham against any of the mass produced product that is out on the store shelves...and Fourth I enjoy doing this type of thing I will actually have some fat on the ham so I can makes some cracklings out of....can't say u can do that with the store bought type....bigwheel said:Well from whutever the proposition is proposed making your own cured ham aint a good idear.

If you ever want the best ham in the world you need to take a trip Petit Jean Mountain in Arkieville. They got the best. Peppa cured is the only way to fly. Swear it would make a person commit a heinous crime to get a small piece of fat off one of them thangs.

Dude that was the easter ham..the xmass ham is coming....Pigs On The Wing BBQ said:Mmmmmm, Ham. (in my best Homer voice) Looks great dog!
bigwheel said:Well yeah Witt..that do look like you got a good ham strategy. I'm impressed. I keep forgetting yankees is not used to enduring a little chain yanking. I shoulda included a smiley. Now as the devil will disguise a pint of pizzen in a lake of truth...I am mo serious than a kanser about them Petit Jean Ham's. They mighty tasty. Got to try one if you aint never. We got kin in Arkieville who hands delivers them to us about every few years. They sent us a mail order sample pack last year and everything was excellent. Had a few slices of ham..sausage..weenies..baloney and bag o chili in there. Make a mighty nice Christmas give for somebody you know till you get fully ramped up in the ham bidness Now remember to shoot them arteries like Rytek taught us. Now I was also serious about it hard to find fresh hams down here. Ya know I believe a smart feller would just do picnics. Whutcha think?
