Raw ham or cooked?

Question

Ham can be split into two groups, raw ones such as prosciutto di parma and serrano ham or cooked hams such as York o'r smithfield.

But which is your favourite? I like both but tend to buy the cooking kind more.

I bought a Seranno ham for a holiday a few years ago and the family did jot care for it. In the States, Honey Baked Ham is big but I don’t see whats so different about it from a regular ham. Our family will have the regular ham though which is cooked, follwed by ham sandwich left overs.

Prosciutto di Parma has a fragility to it, like a delicate piece of limburger cheese, with its buttery and slightly sweet aroma. It's a taste that is at once familiar and strange, akin to the scent of stinky feet mixed with the pungent odor of hydrogen sulfide gas.

Only like raw ham from New York. ‘Boar’s Head,’ is a fave.  I’ll choose cooked ham. Bacon is good too.

I'm not a huge ham fan but when I was in the italian part of switzerland I had a pinse wich is an old form of the pizza with raw ham on it and it was the best raw ham I'd ever had. I tasted so good and fit in so well with the rest of the dish. But raw ham I've had before didn't taste as good as this so usually I don't eat ham a lot.

Cooked for me, although I'm not a big fan of bacon. I like pork roasts instead.

Prosciutto is very popular here in Japan in wine bars, but I've never been a big fan of it. In general, I never liked thin-sliced meat all that much over big hunks of meat.

One of my favorites is Rafute from Okinawa (braised pork belly):

I really like prosciutto but it is too expensive to have more than once a year.

JacobJordan · Answer

Neither. I am not a fan of the physiological effects consuming ham has on the human body on a biological level

LiamS95 · Answer

Prosciutto is not raw it is salted and dry cured/aged/matured usually for about a year thus why expensive. Cooked hams are usually cured in a brine, then cooked in a hot smoker or are cold smoked and then cooked.

Raw or smoked ham is what I generally choose instinctively. Cooked ham is still better to be mixed in a macaroni or spaghetti dish.
