Has anyone bought Lidl serrano ham? If so what do you use it for. I am so tempted but can't think of many uses for it. Thanks.

Snap - it looks like amazing value doesn't it?
But for 2 people, we'd be eating it for years

I haven't, but I might risk it. It's very cheap, and gets good reviews.

It's nibbly food. A plate of that, with a glass of cold beer or wine before dinner, slivers in pasta, thin slices on pizza, or slices wrapped around asparagus or hot dates. If it's good, it'll be a bargain.

Keeps in the fridge for weeks, but it does take up a lot of fridge.

In-laws got one at Xmas, it was very nice but a swine to slice (the knife that came with it was pants).

I have been travelling for 24 hours..... I might be a little more blunt when I'm tired.

re this ham ,is there any indication of the type of piggy? the feed and lifestyle of the piggy? if they use a "free knife"as part of the package do they consider the porky portion as important as the allegedly rubbish blade ?

i know where all of my ham was born,how it lived ,what it ate and sometimes even considered it an equal .
i have ham that is up to 7 yrs old and some that is younger.

if i had the location,tame eho,and resources to invest for the future i would start making the stuff as a business cos artisanham is ace .i wonder how a supermarket product compares ?

Should have asked two hours ago. I was looking at it in store, thinking of this thread.

I bought some drill bits, instead.
