I wonder why. I am bewildered by all the different brands of ham.<BR/><BR/>Gloria,<BR/>The pig's head came from the market in Silao, Guanajuato. People buy them to make pozole.<BR/><BR/>Theresa,<BR/>Thanks for the feedback. That is good to know.

My goodness, thats a lot you have to go through to get a piece of ham, but a pigs head. Yikes. That pig looks so darling though, and I feel sad that they had to kill him so that you can get your ham. LOL<BR/>Do you feel bad about the little piggie? Your posts are always so informative and there is always something to smile or laugh about. Thank you Bob. Have a great day.GlorV1https://www.blogger.com/profile/06789212398770555465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7985623786044384912.post-41245070130068302112008-09-03T15:00:00.000-05:002008-09-03T15:00:00.000-05:00Thank you for the tutorial, Bob!

I don't know what the difference is between smoked and cured ham, that's for sure.YayaOrchidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12903215880257353340noreply@blogger.com
