I went to Publix today to get a "Cured, Bone In, Ready To Cook (not yet cooked)" ham. The meat department Manager said there is no such thing. He says they are either previously smoked or cooked already. He called his supplier and they said the same thing, "Smoked, or cured and cooked". I tend to disagree with him saying that you can get it "just cured" and ready to cook. He said that you can take the "cured and cooked" and eat it straight out of the package. i said yes, this is true, you can take a cured ham and eat it "raw" but It Is not actually cooked yet.
Am I wrong on any of this, are Hams actually cured and "cooked" previously ?
He Is going to get a "Country Ham" for me and see If thats what I am talking about.
maybe y'all can steer me straight.
Thanks in advance
