Slap my Ham... - SV650.org

gruntygiggles · 11-11-10, 10:33 PM

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!

Indeed. Cut that one up and freeze it. Go buy a much smaller, but similar quality ham, and cook that.

There are 1206 active users - that should feed us all!

What time should we come round on Sunday?

Nope, I can't wait to cook this. I will be taking some of the meat off it for the freezer, but only so that I can expose and trim the bone a little and take away the excess.

It's going to be a monster, but it will feed us for the next 2 weeks AS WELL as feeding a fair few people this Sunday!

Please don't post the cooked pics until after 5pm when I'm on my way home and have dinner in sight
