How do some of you foucks say that with a straight face??? 😃🤣


And I don’t get my sagebrush smoking shake from no Walmarts either..I bag it myself. Herrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!



That's BS.

There's no such thing as cat piss flavored sagebrush. The closest thing would be dog sh*t flavored sage.

Can you get to a Carl's Jr.? Drive thru the window and order a country ham biscuit. That'll give you an idea whether you like it or not without dropping a wad of money.

Benton Hams is just up the road from where my dad grew up. It is the real deal, but not cheap. They will gladly give you a tour of the place too. Nice folks.

Jim,

When Eileen and I made a 2-month trip around the U.S. in 1985, when we had more time than money (the vehicle was a 1965 Dodge pickup with a rebuilt 318 V8, with a slide-in camper and a canoe on top of the camper), one of the things we wanted to try was Southern "country ham." We bought some and fried slices. As others have reported, it was VERY salty, to the point of being inedible.

Turned out the basic technique for cooking it was to boil it in water to "freshen" it, removing a lot of the salt, before doing anything else. Dunno if that's still true, but the folks we visited then all suggested that technique. We only drove about 150 miles day during our trip across the Southeast, so it appears to have been common.

We put country ham in our pintos when cooking. No need to add salt. If we get a whole ham it’s soaked several times with the water being changed out. A salt cured country ham is so much different than a sugar cured ham. We prefer the salt cured, but I’ll eat both.

One ham I love at Christmas is a Cumberland Gap whole ham. Not a sugar ham and not a salty one either.

We often do the same thing when making pintos. They make a great combination. I still say that country ham is best served on a biscuit.

Salt curing in a cooler for preservation....That's how country folks had to do it.

They do have a "Western Bacon Cheeseburger" on their menu. It's pretty damn good.

Their breakfast is actually pretty good, for fast food. Try a ham biscuit if you are ever around one.
