401 Fresh
ham
The fresh ham is the
hind leg of the hog sold with the bone in or boneless. Sometimes
referred to as a Pork BRT Ham Roast, Netted. For any piece of meat
called a "ham" it must come off of the hind leg (even a turkey ham has
to be made from the thigh and drumstick).
Sometime a fresh ham
is referred to as a "green ham" meaning only that it has not been
"cured" - like firewood that has not been seasoned is called "green."
