LF Leg ham

[redmanjp]

Where has leg ham still available for Christmas? This year we haven't bought the regular size only 3 ppl would be having lunch this year (the rest of my siblings abroad) so we wanted something cheaper.

[redmanjp]

anyone?

why leg tho, shoulder has more fat which means more succulent and tasty meat
just cut out the unnecessary fat pieces as u go

Saw some Xtra foods grand bazaar like 220+ greatfoods ...almost the same size as picnic for 140 ....also they had a foreign picnic for 99 can't recall the name

JTA has lots depending on the size you want. Up till Monday gone they had a 'special' on 5 - 5.5KG Great Foods Leg Hams for $ 227.00 each.

all the locally made hams are made either by albrosco(blue ribbon, erin, smithfield) or Great Foods(brother who break away)

I really doubt there are much differences between them
the real difference is the individual cut that you get which can vary quite a lot depending on the type of muscle flesh etc in the particular one you get which is basically a lottery
you could be lucky and get one with nice uniform cut or unlucky and get one with a myriad of little muscles in all directions

the boneless ones are worser, a true hit and miss

12 minutes per pound @ 325°F, straight bake (better flavour IMO).
