It is possible you got a dud.  This is what a slice of the petite should look like:

Not overly fatty.  If you think you got a dud, call Edwards - they have great customer service.  That price is killer though.  We saw the petite hams yesterday at the grocery store for about $27 - half of what a mail order costs.  

 

As far as what to do with the ham - pretty much anything you can do with sliced deli ham, you can do with the Edwards - just slice it paper thin.  And I don't find that it needs soaking like some country hams.  Slip slivers into Shrimp & Grits.  This is a wonderful small plate that uses crab, country ham, corn and butter beans.  And remember that the ham is completely freezable.  Cut it into y'all-sized chunks and freeze them wrapped separately.  A little goes a long way.  We eat country ham as a snack around our house and even the petite was too big not to freeze!

 

 

My ham does NOT look at all like that. It looks more like prosciutto. Is that something to legitimately complain about?
