The HAM bargain.
I eat a lot of beans and legumes. What makes both of those infinitely more delicious is ham.
I’ve taken to hitting Honey Baked Hams (or any store knock-off, like the less famous “baked honey hams”), just to buy the ham bones. They are very inexpensive. In the beginning I could get one for $3. Now, they carefully weigh them. I got a giant one for $6. The workers pull a ham and make sandwiches. Then they wrap up the bone, put it in deep freeze to sell. They are kinda lazy; they only pull the meat from the spiral cut potion. The will leave the uncut meat. You get a stupid amount of meat still attached to the bone Great for a chopped ham breakfast hash, slice it for a sando, use it as the friggen highest value dog treat for the utmost obedient dog training. I’ll slow cook the beans and bone. Discard the bone a floating meat pieces. (Or train my dog with it) and then put in some fresh meat for the best PORK AND BEANS ever. I have not tried a sweeter version. But I will. I don’t ever buy that $70 entire ham. I just don’t eat that much ham. The bone leftover is perfect.

Ham goes well with scalloped potatoes and beans. The leftover ham and ham bone can be used for pea soup. Avoiding stunted dried peas is the challenge.

Same story with my last lab. Put him in the doggy hospital. Too much fat.

I tried some "turkey ham" once in an effort to eat healthier but it tasted awful so I gave it to the girls. No problem at all...they loved it!

Turkey is turkey, and ham is ham, and never the twain shall meet

I find that ham compliments my bacon quite well.

Good idea if ham is really pricey there. You can buy a nice half ham (@10 lbs) in the grocery store here for about $20. Cheaper when on sale.
