    I would think gamon will keep upto a week in the fridge (not that it would last that long in our house)
    If winter comes, can spring be far behind?
    Spring begins on 21st March.

    Gammon is cured so it would last probably up to 10 days. If in doubt, slice them, pack them in portion sizes and freeze

    I'd say 10 days too. Don't forget you can freeze it.

    Yes, it will be perfectly fine. And if in doubt, smell it and if it's rank, don't eat it, but just Friday to Sunday should be absolutely fine.....even my Mum would eat that & she's a right baddy for chucking out perfectly good stuff!
