What ham is better?

It depends on the BRAND of ham that you get; although my family has never had anything less than a whole ham simply because of our size. I would suggest *STRONGLY* a Virginia Baked ham. If you would like some fixings for it, use whole cloves, punctured through the skin of the ham, as added flavor (remove before consuming). We also dress up our hams with pineapple and a secret ingredient... a can of 7-UP. Delicious!

If you buy the whole ham you are getting both shank and butt. Butt is a lot more meaty than the shank portion.

I like the butt portion. But with the whole ham, yes you do get both.

Spirals have grown on me. And I tried a true salt cured country ham. I LOVED IT!!!!

i would say both like if some one wanted butt and you only had shank or vis vesa so got both and every one will be happy bye

I prefer butt.

The best is the one that comes from a pig !!!!!!

Smoked or deli is the best.

Oy, you don't want to eat that dirty animal.

best ham.....turkey..
