it looks very thin for a Ham .

 

I am guessing it is sliced and is just a partial piece of a larger ham.  The slices look rather large to me, but the picture perspective is a bit hard to judge.

Keys for scale again

 

 

Two tins of confit de canard showed up today too!

 

 

I shall be eating well

It's not sliced, which will be interesting as I (obviously) don't own a commercial meat slicer, so getting it cut nice and thin might be a challenge 

[rotuts]

it's that time of year :  Turkey , both Fz  ( $ 0.49 / lb ) and fresh  ( $ 0.98 / lb )  @ Stop&Shop.

 

Oddly , more expensive  ( $ 0.59 / lb , Fz ) at MarketBasket.

 

I used to fill the freezer w 22 pounders , way back when   ie 2 , but wrassleing w 22 lbs is a thing of the past.

 

and back then : no IDS, nor iPot.    I managed 2   14 + turks.   savings of $ 17.50 / bird , w a cost of $ 7.10 /bird.

 

fortunately , my new refrigerator runs quite cold , and is not full of #@$)%&@#&+&   at the moment

 

Ive found I can get the work done in stages , keeping the results quite cold in the refrig over a few days .

 

Sooo  : Turkey Breast  'logs' wrapped in bacon , IDS'd  then SV .  Dark meat thighs  IDS // SV

 

carcass  IDS // oven roasted   =>  iPot'd for stock.

 

and im in no hurry to get started .

Sorry @rotuts, what’s “IDS”?  I tried Google and got the following:

Intrusion Detection System 

Interior Design Society

International Dance Supplies

Please advise.

those Turks @ S&S ?    $ 0.49 //lbs ?

 

Im going with 4  , 14 - 15 //lbs.

 

three are in the Freezer , for working w later 

 

and one  ( to be purchased , in a couple of days )  

 

in the refrigerator , to slowly defrost 

 

then work with .

 

Why  Not ?

@rotuts, For sure, at 0.49/lb, you're netting around 7 lbs of meat from turkeys that size (not to mention stock from the carcass), it's still an outrageous bargain.

[rotuts]

@BeeZee

 

Yes indeed.

 

I hope to take what Ie learned from woking w the CkLegs ,

 

and the Turkey-roll-ups ive made before.

 

and take my time doing it.

 

the Fz one Ill palce in the refrigerator might take a week to defrost , then

 

Im at it !

Hell of a price on those turkeys.  Cheapest I've seen here is 99 cents. Two stores offering free birds with purchase of $100. Sadly that 100 is easier to hit now days. 

[rotuts]

in my area , for years , the Fz Turks on sale were limit 2 , but with additional purchase of $ 25 dollars.

 

then that additional purchase requirement was deleted.   $ 0.49  is as low as its been for the Turks in years.

Not to bust your bubble or anything, but my corner fruit/vegetable stand guy has been selling various tomato packs (including the newer "varietals" I'm seeing at Trader Joe's for $4.99, as well as Camparis) for $1 a pack.

 

The varietals are proliferating like crazy...https://www.sunsetgrown.com/our-produce/tomatoes/

[rotuts]

@weinoo

 

excellent.

 

Im sure you will pick out the tasty ones.

 

Its a long trip for me to save  $ 1.99 // pack .
