Hi Tim,
But the real question in todays "credit crunch" is how many more meals did you get out of the ham bone?
;D
MP
Since you ask, MP - an interesting question.
Dukeshill happy Wiltshire Ham - 4800g = 4100g usable (less bone & fat) - £50 = £1.20/100g.
The breakdown:
2600g lunch & snack supper for 17
200g Knuckle bits for soup.
700g family take-away.
300g Monday lunch & child sandwich.
300g freezer
Plus 2.5l Stock.
Not too OTT??
What a lovely family photo tim,
You are a wizzard with the off cuts, ;D

that is seriously impressive! I do freeze parmesan ends so when I make pea and ham soup I use it to flavour but you really use every scrap!
....but the bone, the bone!
I've a 'tween Xmas & New Year tradition...all the bones, ham/pork/lamb/pheasant/whatever I've had left over during the year gets hurled into the freezer......and then....time for the Big Turn Out.....biggest saucepan, all the thawed bones, this'n'that & seasonings, all simmered for ages'n'ages to make stock, and then the most gloriously rich soup 8)

speeks for it self mmmmmmmmm mmmmmmm
Bone, Lishka? BONE?? How else, pray, did we make the Stock!!
But love your multi-pack idea!
We make stock at least once a month - not just after christmas 8) 8) 8)
Ditto - but thought that a mélange might be interesting?
Thanks to asbean, I can now say mêlée - as an alternative.
Same mess in the end!!
Doesn't look much off the bone, but I thought that my butchery skills might be impaired by the affluence of incohol
