Publishers wanted me to cook a ham on the bone to get better pictures so that they can use them for promotional work. They said, "give us a list of local butchers, we'll order and pay and tell you where to pick it up, let us know what other costs we need to cover".
I went today to collect this monster! 12.5 Kilos
Tomorrow I shall be calling my publisher and telling them that indeed they do have additional costs to cover as I cannot fit it in any stock pots or roasting tins I have. As an idea, I can fit 4 large whole chickens in the roasting pan in the picture!!!
So...as myself, Dan and Squirrel_Hunter already have...who wants to slap it...HARD!
I shall be cooking it this Sunday...wish me luck!
