Talk:Ham/Archive 1

Unsorted comments
I have restored a deleted "sexist comment", since it is in the context of a now-attributed 19th-century source. If we bowdlerize every 19th-century or earlier source that offends our tiny sensibilities, what next? Do we ban Huckleberry Finn? Dogface 18:01, 18 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Isn't there a distinction between "raw ham" and "cooked ham"? I believe that Jamon or Proscittio are cured raw ham, while the more usual kinds are cooked. David.Monniaux 11:45, 25 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Spanish Ham
1)In Spain there are two main differents hams: Iberian Ham(Jamón Ibérico) and Serrano Ham(Jamón Serrano).The regional appellations of each are: (and thes list them)

2) Jabugo is englobed in the "Jamon de Huelva" category 3) Jamon de Teruel y Jamon de Trevelez are "Jamon Serrano", not "iberian Ham"

Problems
There are some problems with the Ham article: Dry-cured ham doesn't require rehydration prior to eating (depending on how it is prepared); some of the comments seem to have a POV; and what is meant by the comment "Be real. Stay kosher." in the section on Italian hams??? The "Ham" page could use a "stable" version. -- Another anoymous coward.

China
Professor Zee is an expert in quantum physics not culinary art. The subtitle of his book "Swallowing Clouds" is "A Playful Journey Through Chinese Culture, Language, and Cuisine". The reference of that recipe belongs to "Ripley's believe it or not" not in an encyclopedia.

Ham Sticks
Did you know that hame is being made into ham sicks? Just like Cheese Sticks! Only HAM!How funny is that...i saw a commercial about it the other day! Tell me what u think please!

Hinduism
I have never come across any reports of Hindus avoiding consumption of ham as part of their religion. I have removed the erroneous information.
