We bought a half ham. It was delivered when Paul said it would be. It weighed 7lb. We cooked it Saturday then took the skin off yesterday, scored the fat, covered it with mustard and brown sugar and stuck it in a hot oven for about half an hour.
It was delicious. It fed 7 yesterday, we're having it cold with baby roasties tonight (5 of us) and a ham and leek crumble tomorrow (for 5). I'm not sure that will finish it but any left will go in soup. I think 17 meals is pretty good value.
I'd recommend them - but you'll need a big family or a party for a whole ham. It would make a marvellous centerpiece for a family celebration though.
