I'm torn between leg of lamb and pork belly.

Lamb would be my least favourite. The smell of it cooking kind of puts me off. If I don't have to cook it, it's alright.
Now though I think I would prefer pork as an all rounder. Luckily I don't have to choose
I was looking at Gammon roasting joints.............but I'm not sure what they are !..............:eek:
I've had gammon steaks which are like thick bacon........when you cook the gammon roasting joint does it end up as a joint of bacon or a joint of ham or even a joint of pork (I guess not the latter as it's salted ?)
They are very good value for money I think.
OK, ta...............is it very salty ?
I think the easiest thing is for me just to get one this weekend and try it ..............:D
(I fancy the idea of pea and ham soup !)
My favourites would have to be rib eye, leg of lamb and chicken wings (buffalo style).
Sometimes between it being a shoulder or a leg joint.
Sometimes between a wet brine or a dry salt brine.
Commonly though it's gammon when it's leg cut raw and brined (cured) and when cooked it can be called a ham (or gammon ham).
Bacon is usually from the belly or back.
Rump steak
Chicken thighs
Roast duck
I think any meat needs a bit of fat for flavour. Lean joints/steaks with all the fat cut of don't cook or eat well in my opinion.
I love chicken thighs as well. So tasty and cheap compared to chicken breasts
If you're going to use the liquid you cook the gammon in for soup, soak it overnight and rinse well to remove a lot of the salt, otherwise you end up with a salt soup.
we have had a lot of nice pork recently.
Nobody has mentioned venison yet, I love a nice bit of venison.
Pork fillet
