As per title, who does the best Christmas Ham?
Take money out of the equation.
Also share how you like to have your ham?
I have populated the poll with some of the usual suspects. Feel free to chip in a suggestion.

As in the supermarket one is better or a local butchers one will be better?
I should have clarified, take money out of the equation - simple economy of scale and average colesworth market bastardisation of course means the independent can’t afford to compete price wise.
Local butcher will be better 9 times out of 10 compared to the water injected crap colesworth sells.
My mum !!!
Actor in a Pantomime?
Can we have more at the Xmas edition of the weekly jv bbq.
Will we ever see @kajke return?
Didn’t know you finally got the invite.
Now kajke deactivated account a new spot opened up, understandably I will have to enter a squid games style battle Royale to earn the last invite but it is a risk I am willing to take to rub shoulders with esteemed greats such as yourself, jv and @Muzeeb
@Jimothy Wongingtons: If you read the “legislation” aka the “T&Cs” aka the fine print in that exceedingly verbose handbook they gave you, you don’t actually have to do the battle royale.
You just have to bow hunt a goat with Douglas score that exceeds a certain amount, I can’t remember what the score needs to exceed but it’s not unrealistically high.
It takes a lot of practice and skill building to be a successful bow hunter so if you haven’t been preparing for at least 12 months it might not be for you.
@mapax: Idk what the scale is like but I bet it’s someWhere between 69 and 420
Please confirm @muzeeb
I buy a fresh ham, salt it in a salt water for 3-4 days in the fridge.
Take the ham out from the fridge and keep it in the room temperature for few hour and then oven cook it in +100C until inside the ham measures +74C. Normally it takes 1.5hrs/kg. Note that you must place the ham inside the oven so that the skin is on top.
Then take the skin off and collect the oil that came out from the ham. After that glaze it with yolk+mustard mix and breadcrumbs. Put the ham back in the oven, +200c for about 10mins.
Use the oil to make sauce that goes with the ham :)
After few days use the bone which you have left to make a nice white rice porridge for brekky.
Free range ham from the butcher. Always tastes great; and nicer for the pigs, at least up until…..
I get mine from these guys in Melbourne : https://vimeo.com/366620813
trick question, the answer is a leg of lamb
.Solid answer
Sam Kekovich agrees
Make sure that your Chrissie ham is from Australia. We import a shit load of foreign pork products.
According to Choice it’s the IGA Naturally Smoked Leg Ham and then the Woolworths Gold Triple Smoked Leg Ham :)
I always get mine from Albany, up state New York.
Though they are steamed"Aurora Borealis" is my favourite brand of steamed hams.
Hard to get though, it’s very localised!
Chalmers: …for steamed hams.
Skinner: Yes!
C: Yes, and you call them steamed hams, despite the fact they are obviously grilled.
S: Ye—uh—you know, the—one thing I sh… excuse me for one second.
I do. I take a smoked ham, smoke it again and glaze it.
Unless we all have the same taste buds, and we all buy every ham available out there, and consume every ham available out there,
how is this a question anyone here can possibly answer?
But as this is ozbargain, the cheapest is often the best.
I think I 'll ask Linda Ham for insulation advice.
Perhaps Optus has a job for her?
supermarket ham to one from a local butcher is not a fair comparison
