Ham of entitlement

I have 5 hams curing at the farm right now. One is 2 years old, two are a year old, and two just started this past winter. Going to cut into the 2yo ham for Easter.
As long as it's on a biscuit with mayo, pepper, and a thick slice of mater, it's healthy for you.
WTF is country ham. Is that like honey baked ham?
Always cook your soup beans with a ham bone. 
A staple of colonial America.
I don't know what North Carolina and Missouri are doing.

Or jowl bacon...or smoked turkey wings/legs/neck...or pork shanks. I made collards yesterday with jowl bacon. Mercy...Always cook your soup beans with a ham bone.
Mayo on the biscuit. The mayo works as a sealer for the mater to keep the biscuit from getting soggy. Ham goes on the mater.
As with anything, country hams are not all created equal. Some suck, but that's normally because whomever tried to cure it, sucked.
The best I ever had was from a guy now long deceased. His were always on the small side, usually around 20 lbs, give or take a pound either way. And sugar cured. OMG, the dude was a DRUNK, but by damn he knew how to cure a ham.

I used to see those big country hams at truck stops and just pictured truckers driving down the interstate gnawing on a huge ham like it’s a drumstick

Country Ham on a beaten biscuit. Know your southern etiquette, simpletons.
I miss when there'd be like 16 spin off threads in the paddock, slightly changing the wording of the title haha.
That **** my dad called “city ham” is the picture of entitlement.
Thinks it’s better than country ham because it lacks salt.

My Mom grew up in Portsmouth VA, and one of my fondest memories is when we'd go visit my grandparents for the Christmas holidays. G-PAW always had a Smithfield ham for Christmas dinner.
On a serious note, (yes, I know, not the norm for me) and on the same lines as healthy eating, do we eat healthier when the food is rather tasteless to try and lengthen our lives or, do you just live eating basically what you want and enjoy life more.
Me, I try to eat healthy but when I think about it, I usually eat what is more satisfying to me. Wife was trying to get me to eat cottage cheese, yogurt, spinach leaves as a salad and so on. NOPE. When doing a salad, I just do the regular salad mix with iceberg lettuce and other better tasting veggies.

As I've gotten older, I eat healthier, but it's not necessarily to live longer, it's primarily because of how nutritionally empty foods make me FEEL, an hour or so after I eat. If I ate fast food for lunch, for example, I'd feel crappy by 1:00 That said, sometimes you've got to hit Taco Tico.
With respect to salads; if I'm eating a salad it is GOING to have Bleu Cheese dressing on it. PERIOD. LOL Now, I'm not pouring 3 or 4 ramekins on it, but still; bleu cheese. LOL
I tried "smoking" a country ham one time, and it was awful. Somebody suggested it/said how good it would be. Pretty much ruined it.

Hardly ever put dressing on my salad. Generally, salt, pepper, and maybe one of those dry seasoning mixes. On occasion, but not very often, I will add either a light Italian or a vinaigrette.
