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.

[Ddanno]

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 .

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 ?

 

 

[BeeZee]

@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 .

Honestly, I think they are just producing so many of these different newer tomato varieties.  All these corner fruit and vegetable stands most likely get their stuff from the Hunts Point Produce market, the same distributors that stock many restaurants and stores...they just get what the stores and restaurants haven't taken at the end of the day.

 

Tomatoes seem especially cheap; apples, pears, strawberries, etc. are almost the same price as at a place like Trader Joe's or the brand new LIDL which recently opened across the street from TJs.
