GAMMON

I'm personally not a fan as I was given it as a child with pineapple and a fried egg and I'm not partial to fruit with meat.

This recipe looks pretty good though so I may give it a go cooked in 2 litres of Coke.

Can personally vouch that this is delicious...I cook a couple of really big ones at Christmas and they're gone in no time.

Looks yum mate.

 

I cook one of these at Xmas, it is very good

 

Overrated as ****, as is all 'decent' pork.

 

Thanks for your input, I guess it's how you have previously tasted it.
If it's just plain then it's pretty uninspiring but done properly it's delicious and great for sandwiches after.

I had one cooked in 2 litres of scrumpy which was awesome.

 

I never liked it as a kid for exactly the reasons you mention - but the joints you can buy now are great.

 

Agree on the sandwiches front, I've just never been a huge fan of it really. I only really eat '****' pork if that makes sense, if I'm going to buy a proper bit of meat then pork doesn't even cross my mind.

 

Love the gammon at a Toby carvery. Only time I really eat it though.

 

Not a great fan of pork....disclaimer fan is no reference to a user of a similar name.

But love it if cooked properly...not fan...the pork.

Pineapple on top and an egg delicious, now im im fooking hungry.

 

It's meat ffs, you love it!

 

Do a jerk and honey ham at Christmas, really nice. I hate Gammon steaks though and hate that people put pineapple on them.

 

Got Ribs from the Butchers for tea .

Marinating as we speak in - Orange juice ( From an actual orange here at home ) , Garlic , honey , English mustard powder , Worcesterhire ( sp ) sauce and just a touch of Marmite

 

Gammon steaks , Mash Potato with LOADS of REAL butter , peas .

Yum Yum .

 

Not bacon though

Would eat this all day and night with pickles.

 

I make Cola pulled pork in the slow cooker. ****ing amazing and everyone that tries it says it's the best they've ever had.

Tempted to get a pitch at a festival and bash it out for £8 a roll with a side of slaw. Make a fortune.

But Coke is the best thing to cook it in 100%. I'm guessing the acids help break the meat down...comes out so tender and flakey.

 

Festival pitches can cost into the 100's or 1000's or 25-30% of your profits. Thats one hell of a lot of pulled pork you'll need mate.

 

I know mate. It's just me thinking out loud tbh. I do on average 3 festivals a year and I'd rather get smashed than serve food...

Just saying it's definately a possibility as most pitches with good food is non Stop business.

 

Recipe please ?
