What Is The Difference

[jennyjoan]

Between ham and gammon and which is the nicest. The last funeral I attended we were given a turkey and ham dinner and I never tasted nicer ham - just beautiful.

When I make ham it is just ok.

I think it is in the cure.
Gammon is also usually served as thick steaks, whereas ham tends to be served in thinner slices.

The ham you had was probably honey roasted.There is an easy recipe here:-

[ummmm]

Some call it gammon some call it ham some call it bacon as in boiled bacon and cabbage.

[jennyjoan]

thanks - it probably they way you cook it

[jennyjoan]

danny looked at your link - whole cloves - is that pepper cloves

[ummmm]

Cloves are not peppers

[Arksided]

I do hope you buried the person and not tucked into him/her... and was really Gammon and not Soylent Green.

Sorry for your loss but my understanding is that gammon are steak like and ham are slim slices.

[ummmm]

You get gammon joints as well. People use different words for it. Ham, bacon, gammon.

[Arksided]

Spam?

[andres]

I think it depends on which part of the pigs leg the meat is cut from.

[ummmm]

Oh no...yuk.

[dannyk13]

The simplest explanation that I have seen is that gammon is usually retailed raw while ham is cooked.

[Arksided]

Wow having just arrived home.. a few hours mind... I still have some bacon. if it has green/blue stuff growing off it. is is it still edible?

Sorry JJ for wavering from your OP

[dannyk13]

Depends whether you like blue/green stuff or not.I would guess that it has gone off.

[gollob]

Ham has to be cooked

[Prudie]

So does gammon - and when you buy 'a ham' from the butcher it's not cooked. All words I think
