You know, that stuff that comes from pigs.

I am not talking about the processed stuff that you get in sandwiches with plastic cheese. I man the real stuff direct from the butcher.

I am currently sat here with some wholemeal bread, proper butter, real mature cheddar, plentiful lager, English mustard and a selection of butchers and/or Virginia ham.

Fucking fantastic stuff ain't it, thank god for pigs. Those silly Muslims don't know what they are doing.

Now I'm hungry you tosser.

irish ham is the best

I had ham egg and chips for tea tonight it was yum,this ham was also the real stuff from bryan's of ferndale road,not many butchers like him about these days real old school.

More pig for the rest of us...

Wiltshire ham is the best, Swin Don (Pig Town).

Definitely. Wiltshire ham is unassailable.

Actually it is Swine-dun, 'the hill where pigs are kept'.

Dun as in down, rather than ton or don denoting a settlement.

When I lived in Swindon they used to say hill of the pigs, so I bow to your superior knowledge of Anglo Saxon.


Interesting that Liddington Hill was supposed to be the site of Arthur's last battle against the marauding Saxons.  That's of course if Arthur was real and Sir Lancelot was lancing a lot.

In any event, in them posh restaurants ham is usually Wiltshire ham, a superior product.

Agreed 100%

Parma Ham is the winner for me. Although Iberico Bellota is a very close second.

Ham Cheese and Pickle sarnie! Enough said!

Workmans Ham is the business. Used to be made and sold at Workmans grocers on the corner of Union St and Prospect Place. Since Workmans closed down now still sold at the sarnie shop on prospect place. Christmas isn't the same with out it !

Good, chunky-cut Wiltshire ham and Parma ham lead the way - I find it impossible to choose between them because they're so different!

I'd go with a lovely parma ham for use in cooking (come dine with me style something wrapped in parma ham), and a thick and chunky wiltshire (or gloucester old spot) for a ham, tomato and pickle sandwich.

On a side note, I really shouldn't read food related threads mid morning - I'm starving, and I left my lunch at home.  Bad times.

Can't disagree with that!

Yes you can, pickle is disgusting!

I think you ought to leave.  What a dreadful thing to say.

Even pigs enjoy abit of Wiltshires finest.....its got to have a touch of fat on it to make it perfect.

understatement of the year. Pickle is utterly minging!

What's with all the fussy eaters on here?  What on earth is wrong with a nice bit of pickle?

well, for one, its minging. I thought I had covered that :D

I'm going to have a ham, tomato and pickle sandwich for lunch just to prove you wrong.  So there.

well i am going to go off on a tangent and have a bacon sandwich with Broon Sauce. :P

Bacon works well with a nice bit of pickle.
