What would I do? If I really wanted it I would just get it and enjoy. I've never heard of this ham before and now I'm curious to give it a taste. I was in Philly just yesterday visiting with both of my kids...one lives in Queen Village and the other in Northern Liberties.

i think the most expensive deli lunch meat i have ever bought was prosciutto di parma.....and that was 30.00 a pound.

i have to get my daughter to stop into dibruno bros OR ask her if she had a chance to try this in spain when she was there for a semester. they ate a lot of pork products.

Once in a while I would go in for a free sample!

What would I do...I'd try the sample, say "thank you" then walk on by. They can keep their ham at that price.

If she walked by enough times she could get enough samples to make a sandwich. {#emotions_dlg.laugh}

I wish they still would give out samples, but they were a one time deal.

OP, you can get it much cheaper than that. Do a bit of investigating online. There's a place listed in Cambridge, Massachusetts that has it for $25.95 for a 1/4 pound. Also amazon has it for $14.99 for 3 ounces. Be a wise shopper.

$25.95 for 1/4 pound! That comes to about $100.00 which is the price it was a year ago in my store too.

CLEM ... If you want it and can afford it, then do it! We all need a splurge once in a while. Freeze a little and serve yourself a treat once in a while. No different than spending a fortune on fancy coffees or decedant desserts. Smile

Preds, you are right. I might get an ounce and savor it.
