If we are going to get hung up on semantics perhaps I used a politically incorrect term.






Back bacon is the best but you need two wheel barrows to pack enough money to buy it!
<_<; I'm hungry now...

I used to buy the smoked picnic hams but even those are higher than the price of platinum now! :lol:
Picnics are dirt cheap in these parts. Mitchells which packs for several companies will offload excess product at rock bottom prices in certain stores. Real Canadian Wholesale is one of them

What about green eggs?

As long as they are with ham! Back in 1963 I was working on a seismic crew in Big Valley Alta. and sometimes we worked weekends. In Big Valley on Sunday the only place to eat was at the local Chinaman's restaurant/poolhall and he had a big dog in the kitchen, the windows probably hadn't been washed in years, the place had probably never seen a vacuum cleaner and the lighting in the place was probably limited to a 20 watt bulb over the pool table. Anyway we went there for breakfast and the eggs were slimy and the ham was green. We drove 20 miles to Stettler for supper! Well worth the drive! :smile:

I don't know what breakfast ham is. We usually buy an eight or ten pound
smoked ham. You can buy either the but or the shank portion. I normally
put the whole ham in a large pot and cover it with water, then simmer it
for about three hours. Pour off the water and remove the skin and any fat.
I would then brush on a honey garlic glaze and bake the ham at 325
degrees for about three hours. This method gets rid of a lot of the salt
and we never get slime.

Well, I suspect we are talking about the same thing, except,the picnic ham doesn't need 6 hours of cooking. There is no "we" in my home and it takes twice as long for one person to eat that much ham, even using it in casseroles and inviting people in to help eat it.

My cousin raises some sort of Chilean hen that lays green eggs.

Left over ham can be frozen for later use. In my house leftover ham ends up in buckwheat cabbages rolls.

Can we assume that the egg inside is the normal color?......;-)

I serve green eggs and ham once a year, and the family goes friggin' bananas for it.

It's our 'lazy' eggs benedict that I make to use up the easter eggs and easter ham. You can't help but get some dye on the eggs so there are always green eggs in it.

One of the things I miss from not raising chickens, are the eggs. The flavour is better and the colour stronger from free range. Yummm.

Funny you mention that. My cousin who raises the green eggs is named Patricia and she has a son named Patrick.

And I was born on St. Patrick's Day.......I don't know what that has to do with anything....:smile:

Ahhhh okay. Now I understand better. Those hams are pre-cooked and then heavily injected with water to weigh them down.
Slimey water squeegied up off the plant floor cigarrette butts condoms and all. It is flogged as breakfast feed to take advantage of half awakened hamroids. Their is no pig in it.
