isnt it basically ham?
like canadian bacon?

 

Fancy name? :dunno:

 

well i think its cuz the process takes about a year, so the cost for it is higher.
I buy it from whole foods sometimes. its like 12.99 a lb:eek3:

 

Taylor Ham > *

I would love it if someone could send me a roll of it. :love:

But I've never heard of prosciutto.

 

Dry cured ham from Italy
usually sliced thin

:dunno:

 

It costs more because the curing stage takes from 9 - 18 months, traditionally 3 years. Thats a long time to hang a piece of meat to get a return. But its worth it. Apparently there is no nitrates used either like other hams, just sea salt.



Prosciutto di Parma ftw


WTF Canadian BACON! I just saw that shit. Prosciutto is far superior to ANY bacon... let alone a non existent one like Canadian Bacon.

 

canadian bacon = ham



relax feg

 

cause it's awesome. It's $8 bucks for 5-6 thin slices at the nicer grocery store. Used it for Chicken Saltimbocca which is just delicious.

 

Gotcha queer. Thanks for pointing it out

 

You are a real hooker.
