623. Black Forest Ham

Black forest ham was really not how I expected it to be at all. Having had a few other German hams I was expecting it to be more of a country-style ham; thick cut with a really meaty texture and a smoky flavour. However it’s actually very similar to a prosciutto and I found myself using it pretty much interchangeably with that. I used some to make one of my favourite picnic-style lunches, and had it with hummus, olives, pitta and veggies.
