Yes, I know that I can get great western sandwich ham in Costco. But if you can’t freeze ham that would not help. I’m the only person who in my household who eats western food and I don’t eat large servings. That double package is way too much.
So, I’m looking for small packages of imported or decent local stuff.
My favorite kind of ham is what you’d get at the supermarket deli counter where you’d say 1/4 ham, imported or domestic. No brand name mentioned. The sandwich ham in the supermarket (usually Proker sandwhich ham or Proker german ham) have a strange spice mix to it. They just leave a bad taste in my mouth.
Do you use any local ham be it the sandwich ham, large square ham or ham that comes in long rounds. How are they? Which do you like?
I’d love to get a good canadian bacon, a pork roll or a good ham steak as well.
Carrefour in Xindian usually has a whole ham of some sort that they slice to order. My wife buys it often. Its pretty good. I can’t stomach that virulent neon-pink water-saturated stuff like Proker, etc.
El Toro has some nice ham – the smoked Virginia ham sample I got from him was delicious (although I had to trim it a bit to get rid of some of the excess fat, since I’m on a heart-healthy diet). But you can’t just buy a few hundred grams at a time, which means there isn’t room in my freezer. I’d be happy to split some (as well as some of his other products) with someone, though.
I certainly agree that ElToro is the best I have found.
I freeze the already sliced Virginia ham in small packages. Fine stuff.

Ham is the fruit of Taiwan. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, sauté it. There’s, um, hamkabobs, ham creole, ham gumbo, pan fried, deep fried, stir fried. There’s pineapple ham and lemon ham, coconut ham, pepper ham, ham soup, ham stew, ham salad, ham in potatoes, hamburger, ham sandwich. That’s, that’s about it.
Found an artisan ham seller here that has black pig and regular, four varieties, no nitrates apparently, 14 day expiry in fridge, per kilo 930-1530 range, with packages as small as 500g up to 1200 in long cylinders perfect for slicing or dicing, has apparently been making them since 1939, www.unclekuo.com Hualian, 03 857 6765, over 80 years experience. I had the rosemary ham, which was excellent. Does ship; be sure to pay for refrigerated shipping.
