A local deli here used to sell savoury ham.. they went bust several years ago and I am desperate but can't find it anywhere..

Yes it was the manky ham mushed up, mixed with herbs and squashed into a cylinder and sliced ...

Any ideas where on the planet might have it? I have tried the local deli's and supermarkets..

Hellup.. :D

    Nearest thing that I have seen to that is Haslet. Sold in Mr T's etc but hubby likes the one off the local meat market.
    The best bargains are priceless!!!!!!!!!! :T :T :T

    It sounds like luncheon meat or chopped ham? You can buy that in tins I think Princes make it.

    no it isn't either of those.

    I've never known it be tinned or prepacked.. only fresh

    Not anything like brawn, is it? Probably barking up wrong tree but was estatic when I found that in Morrisons - trouble was it wasn't that great after comparing it to my dads HM as a kiddie. :(

    It sounds as if this could have been a recipe the deli themselves devised. It's not something I remember ever seeing anywhere either. Is it something you could try and make yourself by mincing up ham leftovers (usually to be found cheap on supermarket deli counters) and mixing with herbs and maybe a bit of grated cheese. Then compress into a small loaf tin and slice. If not, then I hope someone can help you out as it's frustrating remembering something you once enjoyed and finding it's no longer available!

    Never heard of it sorry!
    Not sure what to suggest instead either!

    Hi pigpen,

    As you haven't found a solution on the Old Style board I've moved your thread over to the grocery shopping board to see if anyone there can help.
