A ham is (let us not mince words) a pig's rear end.
It's a hefty hunk of flesh and bone, weighing in somewhere between 12 and 30 pounds.
Fresh or cured, ham can be prepared in innumerable ways.
And (here's the clincher) ham is incredibly delicious-the kind of meat whose sheer scrumptiousness can entice even the most diehard vegan into having second thoughts.
In Ham: An Obsession with the Hindquarter, Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarborough take readers on a globetrotting tour of the whole wide wonderful world of ham, from the Philippines to Spain, the Caribbean, the American South, and their own home corner of rural Connecticut (where they buy and help raise a hog of their own).
Gifted raconteurs and talented cooks, the pair ham it up with a series of hilarious stories and pig out on a hundred mouth-watering recipes.
Don't miss this feast.
Not sure what the reviewer who gave this book one star is referring to. I just got this from my wife for Christmas and all I can is wow.
This was for my niece as we have a family joke about ham. The book is certainly a conversation piece and is entertaining with good recipes.
I thought there would be information on how to make different types of ham from around the world ... This is just a collection of how to prepare store bought hams.
