Country ham

16 lbs just right

2nd we've gotten this fall. Nothing fancy or 'boutiquish', clifty farms brand from Paris, Tn.

I always get the mkt to slice it about 3/16-to-1/4" for me. Leave the hocks knobbed for beans

bout twice a week is all I can tolerate, tad salty for my preference. The wife, ia unnaffected by the salt content, must the gene for it. Her blood pressure runs 90/60 even after a slab of this ham. lol


I'll scrape the marrow and saw chaff and vacuum seal about 3 slices per bag.

This is what she wanted for birthday(today), a ham- easy enough I suppose.

Get the catsheads ready.

I like it on a biscuit with mustard but like you, not too often.

Soaking in water a few minutes really cuts down on the salt.

Blasphemy!!!

😄

Awwwww.

Man ...

Where is the pic you sent me with the bone and marrow and gawd knows what else.
That you scrape off the slices from bubba the butchers band saw blade that aint been cleaned in a month let alone if ever????


Pics or it didnt happen.
Lol!!!
Show em that special coating stuff if they dont scrape the slices man!!!!

Do it as a public health service message.
Lol!!!

The mrs would say to me, take your ass to town get you some "city ham"

World Famous Iberico Jamon from Spain . . . this is the real deal (at COSTCO)

My wife's college roomate has a country store near Smithfield VA. They have a large smokehouse and cure their own hams for mail order, Darden's Country store. Last time we were there she showed us the whole operation, very interesting. Love those old-school country stores, and country ham during the Holidays. I think they were written up in the NY Times if you can believe that.

just getting started

Here's the first few swipes of 'Indian Butter'. I'll save it for you.

Yeah that looks great!!

My budget on this endeavour is about $45 bucks

😄😄

Barfffffffffff.....

See what ya all are eating if ya dont clean off sliced schitt nationwide.

Remember this the next you are chit chatting with Scully the butcher about getting that special cut and he goes into the backroom to do it......
Gives it to ya all nice and neat packaged after weighing and pricing it for ya!!!


Yummmy.........

Had some ol girl up there hittin on me at the meat counter. She smell like cigarettes



This ratty carhartt is just too damn sexy

My wife will occasionally boil n entire country ham. They are delicious!

Red-Eye gravy, too?

It went down something like this I bet!!!

LOL!!!

If we do any sort of 'wholie' we'll heave a smoked picnic into a slow cooker. Although, I think those prepared picnics are chemically smoked or dunked or both. Theyre still good too. And youre only only dealing with about a 7-9 lb cut with a picnic 'ham'

I knew an old guy that I used to crappie fish with, he showed me how to do one (a whole rear ham) in a lard tin soaked in Dr Pepper.

Wooo damn, slap yo mama. Took all night the way he did it.

That’s how the wife does it.

I had more shopping to do but I broke out, She be unleashing the white hanky and chloroform on me.

She smell that state retirement 3 aisles over.

Dr Pepper seems to have all sorts of culinary uses. I soak goose breasts fillets in it to get a lot of the red out and make them taste less like liver.

The country hams found in this part of Kentucky and Tennessee have a pretty unique flavor. They're nothing like the Virginia hams, the Smithfield ones. I like them, and we have one just waiting to cook. Used to do my own back when I killed hogs, and a genuine country ham is one that's been cured and hung for at least a year, not the 3-6 month wonders that places like Clifty farms turns out, although the one I have is a Clifty Farms. The real deals cost about double of the store bought ones.

I like them cooked in a lard stand best of all, if you're going to boil or bake one. My favorite is fried, and on a biscuit.

My father in law used to do their own hams up here on the hill. The smoke house and ham boxes are still in there. Along with about 25 broken vacuum cleaners and junk. I've said before the wife raised hogs and tobacco as a girl, they're simple folks, and have settled for these clifties seemingly ok.

I got a Broadbent's a couple years back but for 3x the money, the assembly-line clifty was not enough difference to tell/taste.

Some of the classy hamery ops I've checked on have a waiting list or always have sold out when I am in the ham thought of mind. I'd sure like to get one from an outfit over on the Cumb plateau, can't recall the name but have heard a lot of crowing about their craft from a couple of people that got one.

you betcha

I hope you been feeding renegade as well.. guys like him will survive on cigs and monsters when the wife leaves for a few days..

Haha

I always try to get him to stay for a meal or come out, (20 mile drive).

I can talk him into a weber charred burger once in a while.

He doesn't like my wife, she's kind of a snake. Subject of long discussions... All smiles and then the knife and fangs come out.

My Khan/Wife is the same way.
She has destroyed friendships of mine in the past.
I wont let it ever happen again and it kills her I wont tolerate it ever again.
Subject of long discussions.

Dude.
I eat well.
No more child driven menus in my life.
LOL!!!
I eat once a day basically.

Feed bag type of thing.
It aint pretty.........
Hahaha!!!

Had to go to the googler. Guess I’ve not had country ham.

No cracker barrel in Nannook?

Nope. But I was in one once when visiting MIL in Cincy.

I stayed at a motel 6 last night.

Wife kick you out again....lol

Went to see my girlfriend.
She is 18 just graduated high school, finished up her 1st semester of college at Vanderbilt.

Give it a few before ya quote me man!!!


LOL!!!

I'm still laughing.

Never had a country ham.


I guess they ship them all over hell though.......might have to try one someday.



There is a fancy place over west that makes hams. Helena Valley Ham. Damn thing costs more than a radiator for your feed pickup.


Tried one and couldn't see where the extra money went.

Mouth is watering!

We boil chunks of the meat and the ham bone and add big dried Lima beans, some onion, garlic to taste, and a dash of cumin. Have it with hot cornbread with big gobs of butter.

Just get a can of spam.
Soak it in some of that liquid smoke flavoring for a day

Get a grinder of that sea salt ( going fancy here)

Cover the entire thing with it.
Let it dry for a day.
Scrape salt crust off.


Enjoy..........


Slight Ham taste with dominant salt flavor and a hint of smoke.
Just like the real McCoy.....


Lol!!!

Benton Hams over in E Tn has the best country ham Ive tried. Bacon is killer too.


Theyll ship one out here but the S&H is as much as the damn ham!

Sheeeit....Looks like the dried up puzzy goop D'Andre gots under his finger nails while making pizzas at CiCi's

Perfect!


I will send you the rest of the money I would have spent on fancy yuppie country ham.

Renegade is no authority on ham. He eats MREs cold with 3 dirty fingers.

Got it all fixed up purty.

All scraped out, deboned. Left the skin and fat ring on.

Will portion it in 3s and 4s slices per bag. Country ham, family breakfast on weekends for the next 4 or 5 weeks.


Hocks in bags too. Got a pound of great northerns soaking now for tomorrow. Oh yeah👍


[ur

Why ya gotta shatter a place in my mind I like ta eat at.


Gawd.......

" Dont know man I got a stomach ache"...

Dude got a 27ft worm in 28 ft of intestines.

LOL!!!

Barf.........


HAHAHA!!!

This thread won't be complete until someone brings up hog jowl!

The best food on the planet. You need welding gear to fry it, however.

Schhittt.....
You think thats the plan for that.

LOL!!!



Your 2 midnight to 4am fridge raiders
Aka : bottomless pit stomach boys of yours
Are gonna be like
" Fugging A"
"The Country ham suga plum fairy hit da fridge"

That schitt is gonna make some nice expensive turds for them 2.

And they never will say they ate it all.


Lol!!!!

The old folks used to say that the only part of a hog you couldn't eat was the squeal. Never tried hog jowl, and have no desire to, although it's supposed to be good if done right.

yall fellers are funnier than any of them comedy shows . please carry on

I bought a real country ham a few years back from Tennessee. It was coated in salt and let hug to season for a year. I soaked it for a day and changed the water twice, that was still one salty SOB. Those old timers must have liked salt more than me. It was interesting though.


That Spanish ham is great, every bar in spain is lined with pig legs curing.

"Momma throw some more meat to the baby"

T F F

Y'all see now why I don't venture down there south of the border unless I have to.

I ever find out what nursin home youre in, I'll bring you some puried jowl and bean paste and a straw

😄😄

That's what I'm afraid of. My exact location is a closely guarded secret.

Check out that first piece of jowl I got

It's like an artifact from the Werner Herzog's Cave of t Forgotten Dreams.

Glistens with a thousand years old sodium deposition.

😄😄

If they smoke, they poke.

Petrified pork

Thats some Hannibal Lecter looking schitt right their, deep frozen almost 2 yrs.
LOL!!!

We soak them overnight, and that usually is all they need. Some hams are more salty than others, and as a general rule country ham is supposed to be a little on the salty side, but that's what makes it good.

Ya!!!! James we can race ya down the hallway and chyt in a wheelchair, do wheelies and fishtails and schitt with ya.😜🤩
Let one of the groid worker clean up the scuff marks.🤣
Eat some Jello ( a bunch!!!!🤪) and watch Price is Right with Drew Carey ( yes Bob Barker is gone😵)
:grin

Younger generations will never "get" the country ham thing. They even use mayo to make biscuits. Well, at least they calls em biscuits.
