foreign meats

Just wondering if there's any place you can get imported meats.

I was in Norway and they had some really nice stuff which was basically thin slices of dry cured ham. So it was never cooked, just hung up, salted for weeks etc.

Any ideas where I could get some, or even start looking?

Cheers!

    You could try Sawyers in Belfast and if they don't they may be able to advise.
