Griff and Unity sampled this while they were up for Oink...I was hoping they were going to comment and post the pics o the ham

Michael, "D", Lynn, and Dave -- the Witts. They didn't compete this year because the boys were playing football the next day. They won.

We stopped to see the Witts on our way out of town, and Dave broke out the proscuitto he'd been dry-curing for the last year.

Wiping the last of the lard coating from the ham.

The king of sandwich meat. Dave gave us paper-thin samples -- a bit salty on the outside, splendid inside.

The sample site is near-right. When it's hanging, the non-skin surfaces are covered in a thick coating of lard and pepper. Dave also has a Virginia ham curing in the basement.

Many thanks, Witts. Sorry I neglected to post earlier. There's more about Oink and the rest of our trip here.
