Ham on Thanksgiving AND turkey

[Anonymous]

How about they just eat the sides and forego the turkey if they are that spoiled?

Also why buy an entire ham for 2 people? You only need a ham steak.

That ends up taking a pre-ordered ham from someone else. It's first come first served. Never mind if you prepaid and expected them to actually have a ham for you. Just get a ham from somewhere else.

I don’t get this. They just pre sell as many hams as they want, but don’t set them aside? So what happens if you prepay and go to pick up and there’s no ham? Refund?

Last year they didn't have my parent's large ham so there were forced to take 2 small hams. They had a reserved ham, but at the store, no ham that size left. They don't set them aside, you get what you get, apparently.

All I can think about is that lady who had a ham misdelivered to their house a few years ago, and didn't know what to do with it.

My mother always talks about one of her first thanksgiving with her in-laws where they served ham because my grandfather said "you can have turkey any day". That said, my SIL and BIL always make a turkey and prime rib. I much prefer the prime rib.

That's because a whole roasted turkey is terrible. Yes, even yours, whomever is going to respond they theirs is fantastic.

Even yours.

Which of these is what I need for 2 "just ham no turkey" eaters plus 10 casual ham eaters?

spiral, honey ham, country ham, ham steak, mini ham

I would go for a mini, boneless ham. I think one year I got a mini boneless spiral ham. I paid more per pound but it was really easy to cook and looked nice.

That's bizarre. You CAN'T have turkey any day, unless you're talking deli meat.

What is terrible about turkey? Do you dislike chicken as well?

I love chicken. Turkey is crap. It's the weak link - by far - of Thanksgiving dinner.

Why can't you make turkey any time of the year? There may not be big piles of it sitting in coolers in the grocery store, but you can certainly find a whole turkey if you want one.

Which brings up another point - no one does. The surest sign that very few people really love turkey is that no one makes it any time other than Thanksgiving.

My mother sweats that only fresh turkey tastes good and you can only find fresh/not previously frozen ones at thanksgiving.

I prefer a roasted chicken over turkey.

We do turkey and ham for our Thanksgiving dinner and get our ham from honeybaked ham.

You can have a turkey any day just like you can have ham any day. Turkey isn’t just sold around the holidays. They sell turkey year-round. I’m a little bit confused by your post.
