The woolies ones have been ok for me.

I imagine they all need basting and about an extra 3 hours cooking.

I hate ham unless it's sliced very finely and spread with chutney or overlaid with slices of Sandwich Gherkins.

Try sliced Devon instead.  It's nicely spiced and salted. Eat with stuffed olives. Don't forget a thin spread of HP Sauce.

To die for.

I think most of them have that jasin...I want one to glaze  usually bake for 1.5.hours...6.7.kilos I think...but it has to have a nice layer of fat and you cant always see that?..

has anyone had the ALDI  leg ham  I think...we are expecting roughly 24 for lunch.

sprint the supermarkets have a large range these days,

I haven't had to bother about a ham for years.
My daughter & her husband win them in club raffles in Canberra every year. They've already win two in the last week.
They also win meat trays regularly and it's not as if they buy a lot of tickets. They just seem to be lucky.

Interesting.

During my niece's last visit I let it slip that I often buy my rump streaks from a halal butchery. It was the wrong thing to say.

I promised her I won't do it again, and so I won't.

Although Christian. I dont see how Legs of Ham constitute a Christmas tradition? It is nothing but a marketing gimmick and one of many that pop up over the years. I totally support Moslems and their desire to ban Leg hams for sale at Christmas. Pork has nothing to do with Christianity, let alone anything religious at this time of the year. It is just another retail fad for the uncultured and unreligious. By the way, should not the Athiest be working through the Christmas period?

I like a good mildly salted ham at Xmas- but the hams this year are not particularly nice here- Ham is a tradition in our family in that I buy one every year- who cares what moslems like or dont like- they dont like xmas either but this is australia- so they can shove off

I followed suit with cod's post re water pumped into the meat at the butchers.

Sorry, Ajax, but those are under-cooked ...

OK OK stop hamming it up you lot   

Coles has some very good Free Range Boneless Loin Ham (glazed with Canadian maple syrup).

- I like the thought of the animals being able to run around and have a reasonably decent life before their ultimate sacrifice.

I don't think you can cure them, dear.

I'm pretty sure the pigs are dead.

Having a ham roll on Boxing Day, with lots of mustard, is always nice.
