I told him about the prosciutto and he was surprised to hear people actually do that at home.

he might like to try a bit.

woo hoo! do I get to spend another 8 month feverishly watching my gmail inbox for notifications of updates to this thread? version 2.0 perhaps?

Yes he would, I offered to let him try it. We still haven't met, I picked up the meat at the butcher shop last year. I'll make a point to swing up that way this Summer.

I've actually been dealing with the dad of the teenage boy who raised the pork. That makes me feel all the better about buying from him. The family grows organic produce and has supplied some very fine restaurants (Rick Bayless's Frontera Grill and Charlie Trotter's to name two).

As for the next 8 months, I'll be looking for suggestions on what to do with that new ham.
