Re: The master curer

What a fascinating article, I'd love to try all those products but,alas, I doubt they'll make their way down under.

Re: The master curer

Great article but - how can one have a pork content of 105%?

Current location (optional) torquay, australia

Re: The master curer

Not 105% but water up to 70%

"pork is naturally made up of 35 per cent water, and saline injections can increase this to 65-70 per cent"

Re: The master curer

This is to John , who misses Gammon so much . A nearby farmer has his own butchery and kills his own free range beef, lamb and pigs . The pigs are Saddlebacks and tasty . Do you want me to enquire if he does gammon . I am pretty sure he would be prepared to have a go .Posted in ice they would arrive in good order next day from here in Tasmania
