One time I wanted a Virginia cured ham. Long story and the result was great fun with the guests remembering traditions from home. We were all transplants. Anyway, a butcher special ordered it. He was even in on the fun.
This makes me remember, we’re transplants to Florida as are many of our friends. Maybe ask a few of them and to bring a dish from their neck of the woods. Hmmmmm. As with the ham, it might be hard to get ingredients.
