Thinking about sending a smoked ham as a Christmas gift.
Anybody have a reco on mail-order ham?
Worth trying here, for obvious reasons.
Never saw so many asses in one place.
I mean that in a good way, of course - you know - just cracking wise.

Thanks for all that, John.
I'm going to keep it simple and go with the honey baked ham BAR
linked. Price is reasonable.
Sent my dad an Omaha Steak package once and he said it was nothing to
write home about, so we'll see what he says about the ham.
Hard to tell what's good or not.
Tell you one thing though, my sister sent me some Carson's ribs once -
they come packed in dry ice - and they were some of the best ribs I
ever had.

OK, Vic. But just in case you decide to send some my way, here's one I'd
gladly take.

Not everyone appreciates a good dry cured Virginia ham.

Well, you're right. But not everyone even knows what red-eye gravy is. And
they've probably never had it on grits. That's why there are so many
mentally unhealthy people in the world.

This ham, although dry cured, comes all ready to eat. The hard work's been
done.

Vic, I've never sent a ham through the mail but you might look at
hickoryfarms.com and in the search type in *ham* and they have quite a
variety of stuff. PLUS Cracker Barrel sends hams though delivery too.

If you like the person send them a Honey Baked Ham
(http://www.honeybakedham.com/). If you don't like the person send them
a canned ham from Smithfield.

The honey baked looks good.
I recall getting one locally and it was pretty good.
BTW, Cracker Barrel is a pretty good place to eat on the road, and
their iced tea is really good. *Fresh brewed.
Thanks.

Their hashbrown cassarole is the bomb!

I'll try that. *Had an egg skillet there one morning, and it was good.
Funny thing is this year's trip to Florida was the first time I even
tried Cracker Barrel. *Motel clerk recommended it.
When we took the kids we always ate from the cooler or stopped
at McDonalds.
Pretty nice when it's just me and the wife, but we sort of miss having
the kids along too.

Yeah, I really like travelling with my kids.

Hey, I'm sure the price jumped since I said that.
10 bucks a pound for ham is insane.
Went with Cracker Barrel at about 8 bucks a pound.
That's just crazy, but hey, it's Christmas time!
And I'm done shopping!
That's worth 5 bucks a pound right there!
