    I did not realise that gammon was an age-restricted item. Could I accidentally be a criminal now??

  • I have to say I would describe myself as too young for gammon. I would never buy it or eat it, I consider it a grandparents meat

    I am so confused by the gammon question - I grew up eating gammon steaks on a regular basis, most people I know have a gammon joint at Christmas.  Is the pork industry really suffering that much?
