    What's happening here? I see everyone running so I'm gonna run. But what are we running from?

    This guy has a history of getting a big leg of Jamon and posting up absolutely delicious looking photos of dishes made with it (and the cute dog staring longinly at it) every day for a big period of time.

    So if you are subbed to this, prepare to be thinking about Jamon, and the lack of it in your life, pretty much every day for the next month or so

    I didn't know if Jamon was a Michael Jackson reference with a hidden meaning. I looked it up and found that it's Iberico ham. Thanks for the explanation as to the history of the post. I guess I'm initiated.

    Jamon is Spanish for Ham. It's weird people are using the word like a discrete term.

    Yeah, most of these pictures are Jamon de Serrano, a specific type of cured ham. Jamon Iberico is the breed of pig, and Pata Negra is the acorn-fed iberian pigs turned into cured ham.

    It's like when people say queso instead of cheese, or baguette instead of loaf.

    A baguette isn’t a loaf though nor does it mean loaf in French

    Ironically it’s supposed to be “ham on whole wheat” but tbh… since this dude has done the jamon this is all I hear.

    Can someone explain to me how this doesn't go bad and rot away? I know they put a TON of salt on it but still don't fully understand

    parent
    18 points daakadence

    You need to cover the meat with the fat or a damp cloth. Aside from that it's salted meat and designed to be held at room temperature for some time (like jerky). Eventually, it will get hard and the fat will go rancid. The trick is to eat it (or freeze the remainder) before that happens

    It’s a lot of salt. It is dried and cured meat. Drying via salt is the original meat preservation method.

    parent root
    6 points GanderAtMyGoose

    Basically, the salt and by extension the dehydration of the meat prevents the bacteria which would normally make meat unsafe to eat from growing.

    I paid $140 cdn for a Serrano full leg. 6.5kg , so about $2.00/100g.. can barely buy salami for that price..

    Hope the bone isn't crazy big. Expecting it to be 1-2 kilos

    There’s a substantial amount of fat and you won’t be able to recover all of the meat - I spent weeks carving mine up and had to stop here, I didn’t eat it fast enough - was starting to go bad.

    For cost effective I don’t know how it compares but it was really enjoyable and an experience. Also I vacuum sealed a bunch of packages in my fridge

    That looks like you did pretty well. We sealed the last of the one we got a few years ago (it was a half leg, boneless, and was almost $100) and used that for pizzas in the new year.
