Country ham is saltier, dryer and much stronger tasting. Aged longer, and more of the water drawn out by the salt.
A little would flavor a big pot of greens or beans or soup.
If you are sensitive to tyramines, found in aged cheeses, meats, smoked fish, red wine, you will have to forgo country ham
Oh man!!!!! It’s hard to beat a pot full of green beans, country ham, and potatoes....
Well, thanks for the lesson. Never hurts to LEARN something every once in a while.
I DO have the feeling that I would like country ham as well I like the "other" hams.
