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.
