Talk:Salt-cured meat

It seems like this article should be merged with Curing, since there isn't any new information. I don't think meat-specific information would be out of context in a slightly expanded Curing article. 24.41.8.83 05:54, 7 January 2006 (UTC)Josh Caswell

Lemon juice in the Royal Navy in the Age of Sail
According to our article on scurvy, lemon juice was introduced as a standard part of the Royal Navy diet in 1795, well within the Age of Sail. A reference is given there.

This is contrary to this article which currently reads ''Salted meat was a staple of the mariner's diet in the Age of Sail. It was stored in barrels, and often had to last for months spent out of sight of land. The basic Royal Navy diet consisted of salted beef, salted pork, ship's biscuit, and oatmeal, supplemented with smaller quantities of peas, cheese and butter.'' A reference is also given there.

I think that the scurvy article is correct and this one wrong, but investigation and discussion are obviously needed. Andrewa (talk) 09:46, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

Please edit "jamón" for me.
I tried to edit this sentence: Jamón – Jamón are certain types of dry-cured ham from Spain but I can't. The sentence doesn't appear in edit mode. Can someone change it to: Jamón – Jamón is a certain type of dry-cured ham from Spain. This is because jamón is a countable, singular noun. DBlomgren (talk) 01:44, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
 * This cannot be changed here because it's an Annotated link and needs to be changed in the short description of Jamón itself. -- Evilninja (talk) 07:04, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
