Heads up for Danish Sizzlers Smoked Gammon Steaks, currently on offer at sainbury at £2 for a pack of two
Delicious..............:D
I haven't had gammon steaks for years and I've got it in my mind that i didn't like them very much
But I'm trying to eat recognisable pieces of meat and fish after the recent scandals so thought I'd try them as they were on special offer and looked like proper slices of meat rather than re-constituted meat shapes
Georgeous...............they taste like what I remember bacon used to taste like in the olden days when there used to be butchers shops...........:eek:...............and bacon consisted of atual thick slices off a pig rather than tissue thin processed meat shapes with injected water and salt
Gammon steaks will definately be on my menu from now on !

There we go, I noticed you'd made a disgusting mistake and felt an overwhelming urge to correct it.
But now that you mention it, I do remember fried pineapple being a bit of a craze in the 70s
.............and i still have pineapple when make a stir fry...........:D
I think they're just too salty. Bacon is fine because that's just a few rashers, but gammon steak is a big piece of saltiness.
Yeah quite shocking the amount of salt in them. It puts me off buying them.
Havent seen any ones with reduced salt
I had gammon for my tea last night and had both
Also didn't find them too salty at all, got them from Tesco, big chunky ones that were half price.
I hate to burst your bubble, but I guarantee that the gammon you had was injected with brine for the curing process;)
Chips, pineapple, fried egg, mushrooms, peas, grilled tomato and ketchup.
Sounds like this week's midweek dinner sorted.
If you cook fresh having gammon once in a while is perfectly healthy and you wont OD on salt.
Usually the griddle pan on the rare occasion i have gammon steak
Frying pan for a few minutes on each side then under the grill to crisp it up..............that's how i did it, same as i do with bacon
You could soak them for a while before cooking them. I don't see the point in poaching them and then using the liquor to make a sauce - any salt removed from the gammon would just be in the sauce instead.
Soaking is an idea.
