Re: What is your favorite ham?

Our last spiral ham was by Smithfield, and it was awesome. I can't remember the last time ME, or my family ate that much ham; there was none to freeze or put away for other uses. I do buy the small Cure 81 hams from time to time when I know we are in the mood for ham for just one meal. I also like Cumberland Gap hams from Kroger, and am more partial to a bone-in ham. I am pretty particular when it comes to ham, as I am extremely salt sensitive, and notice this issue the most with ham. I can eat ham at the table with 20 other people, and I will be the only one who finds the ham "salty". I always choose a very small piece of ham to start with, to make sure I can tolerate it.

This is probably not anyone else's choice, but I love cheapo picnic hams. That's what we had when I was growing up.

esskay silver label ham......prefer the butt end. esskay is a locally owned company, so not sure how many states they sell in.

Re: What is your favorite ham?

We're not big ham eaters here, but Christmas I wanted a spiral sliced ham, but not a huge one. The smallest one I could find was a brand called, Farmland, in Wal-mart. I have to say that was one of the best tasting hams I have ever had. The whole family kept saying how good it tasted. It had just the right amount of smoke flavor in it and the glaze packet that came with it wasn't one that was super sweet. Just a really great ham. I was a little leery since it wasn't a name brand, but glad I took the chance.

Another vote for Aldi's Appleton Farms ham. We usually buy the butt end smoked ham, but have also purchased the spiral cut and they're equally good. Probably have bought 5-6 in the past few years and all were winners.

Used to buy Cumberland Gap, but found the last few seemed overly salty.

Cooks brand from the grocery store. I hate spiral cut hams--you can't even get good chunky leftovers.
