I wonder how many Lidl turkeys were consumed this weekend.

As i mentioned before, i did a practise ham yesterday and while it turned out all perfect and delicious and all, it is more like roast pork than ham. I don't understand ... :oops:

Could be cultural misunderstanding, ham what you put on your bread is different than christmas ham :)
We just call it ham because we do, it shouldnt be like ordinary ham what you buy from shop so seems you did it perfectly.

If you’re in doubt, here’s a Google Images search for the Finnish word joulukinkku (“Christmas ham”), for the purposes of visual comparison. :D

When buying ham in the shop how can i tell if the kinkku is pork-like or more like a salted pink meat ham like ham is in Ireland or England, or is it all pot luck.

yeah, so it is like "ass of pig" and when its done in one way its christmas-ass-of-pig and when its done for sandwiches its boiled-ass-of-pig and then you can have smoked-ass-of-pig... or what do you think "kinkku" means?
