11/20 probably not bad since we are on a low fat low sodium diet and pretty much only get the turkey and chicken cold cuts.

Pretty hard to take a "test" when AOL system doesn't show the pictures!!!! As usual AOL failed again! What a lousy program AOL is.

19/20 Listening to "Playing for Pizza" by John Grisham taught me more than I ever wanted to Know about Ham.

I'm not too good on American "fake and inexpensive, luncheon meats," including different hams. I thought all American hams were cooked. I thought uncooked hams were called pigs or pork. Aren't dead pigs called pork? I've got a lot to learn. And how do turkeys and chickens become hams? What a country!

Ham is the cut of meat from pork. Dead pigs. Not Soy, Turkeys nor Chickens. It comes from the back part of butt or thigh. That clear things up? Basically?

The pictures are lousy--they are clearly taken from pre sliced packages from Applegate Farms and chopped, pre-formed Wellshire Farms ham products--hardly the best examples of traditional cuts of cured/uncured meats. Hell, you can see the ridges in the slices from being squashed up against its neighbors in the package. Yuck.
At least there are a couple of photos of salumi from Fra'mani (the Gentile and the Nostrano.) That stuff rocks.

Wow, I scored 11/20 and I'm a cook and a courier for an organic commissary...and I guess a dumbass, too. Oh, wait, I'm supposed to find a reason to call one of you a dumbass, right?
This is where you would say "Nah, buddy, you take the gold."

After going to deli's countless times throughout my life I guess my 15/20 score was satisfactory. It should have been 18/20. I probably have only eaten one quarter of them, but seeing them all the time you get to know what is what.
