At dinner last night we were discussing food and food quality and I said about this forum and its origins and the strict control that was in place during the years when Poland was exporting canned hams. They were always refrigerated and our guest remarked that as she recalled they were very good.
If I have read the parts about formed hams correctly I think that we can still get the quality that marked those canned imported hams if we can find pigs that were fed a similar diet.
The local Wegman's Supermarket has shoulder butts for sale through the end of the year for 1.29 per pound. I think it may be time for me to try that.

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it probably needs more time on the grill!
