Lunch meat...part two "Ham"

I love ham :) and I actually used to be vegetarian, but this is really besides the point now isn't it :). In any case I love ham. Its great on sandwiches, great fried up with noodles, onions, maybe some tomato, maybe some Tofutti Sour-Cream...I think I am getting hungry. Again, I am trailing off subject...OK so let me talk about the topic "Ham". - I am sure you all know that many hams contain lactose. Not sure why they use it, but its just one of those food which we avoid when eating out, or ordering pizza. In Tuttlingen, my home town in Germany, there is one butcher who produces ham w/o any lactose. One !!! - Luckily I found ham by a couple of different producers which are lactose free.



- Applegate Black Forest Ham --> it is sooo... good http://www.applegatefarms.com/

- Niman Ranch Ham --> http://www.nimanranch.com/index.aspx; this is the ham I buy almost

every week. Its yummy...

- New Seasons also makes their own ham. Personally I am not so crazy about it

- Parma Cotto Ham if you want to splurge is also lactose free --> this is excellent
