Randomguy Posted December 11, 2018 Share #1 Posted December 11, 2018 Did ham used to be more popular? Ham is good, you would have to be a vegan or a fool if you don't eat it occasionally. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The white meat thing is a marketing smoke screen! Occasionally is aboot right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is foolish for religion to try and tell you what to eat and when, except Christmas cookies. I like that the church goes out of its way to tell us that Jesus ate cookies every Christmas since he was one or two years old, mostly Russian teacakes and frosted Christmas trees. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsharr ★ Posted December 11, 2018 Share #11 Posted December 11, 2018 One of my favorite things to put into my mouth and grind up with my teeth and mix with my saliva and swallow into my gullet is some nice left over spiral sliced honey baked ham that has been cooked in a skillet to warm it up and then served on toasted bread with a bit of american cheese and some yellow mustard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be fried ham. Fried ham sucks. Microwave that puppy before making the sandwich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ham is good, you would have to be a vegan or a fool if you don't eat it occasionally. Note that it's forbidden by the religions of 1/4 of the world's people. I love it. I just bought a 12 oz. package of 6 round ham slices at Aldi, a package of round, sandwich-sized, onion rolls, and I'm going to make my own McMuffin knockoff tomorrow with a slice of hot ham, a scrambled egg incorporating a little diced onion, garlic powder, shredded sharp cheddar cheese and salsa, all encased in an onion roll instead of a much smaller muffin. I have those rubber rings you can put right on the frying pan and pour the egg mixture in it to keep it round. It's a lot more egg than in a McMuffin! When I was an industrial research chemist, a fellow chemist named Aziz was a Muslim from Pakistan who was not religious at all. Every so often, our research group would send someone out at lunchtime to pick up pork BBQ subs from a great local restaurant. Aziz would never taste one. I asked him why he wouldn't eat pork, since he wasn't religious. He said, "It's sort of how you're brought up and the culture gets ingrained in your brain. I would be like someone inviting you to eat dog meat." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donkpow Posted December 12, 2018 Share #23 Posted December 12, 2018 It's been a very long time ago that I heard this. The wisdom behind not eating pork was related to a particularly dangerous, to humans, parasite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtyhip Posted December 12, 2018 Share #24 Posted December 12, 2018 I do not like ham. Bacon and prosciutto, yes. Ham, never. That cut is just distasteful for me. I can tolerate honey baked hams, but that is about it. Every time I have had it from people's homes, it is gross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an infection caused by the roundworm Trichinella spiralis that is often found poorly kept pork. I'm sure it was the reason it was banned in the Middle Eastern religions. Today, it's not a problem and pork needs to be cooked to a lower temperature than beef or poultry to be safe, 140-145F. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
