It ain’t just biscuits they don’t do well in the north...

I was in Waukesha, Wisconsin and went into a grcery store and asked for country ham....

They said they didn’t carry that “brand”...I said it ain’t a brand, it’s type of ham...Salt cured...

They looked at me and after listening to me talk, one guy said “You aren’t from around here, are you?”

I tend to hate city type ham. However things like prosciutto are great. I am from Wisconsin and it is true country ham is impossible to find.

It’s like looking for Scrapple in Texas.

Lol. I must say that I don't know the difference between country ham and city ham. It's all PORK--cured with salt.
I've never met a pig part that I didn't like.

I just HAD some ham for dinner. Mmmmmm.

Jones Farms used to have a factory in southern Wisconsin. I believe they made a country ham. Isn’t that the same as a Virginia ham?
