Ham

When most people think of ham, they think "pig" or "hog". In reality, the term "ham" refers to the thigh and rump region of any meat-bearing animal.

Varieties of Ham 

In the United States, one of the most popular varieties of ham is the "Virginia" ham. Legally, for a ham to be called a Virginia ham, the hog must be raised in, and the ham must be produced in, the state of Virginia. Other types of ham include fresh ham, which is uncured, and country ham, which is uncooked and cured. The curing process flavors and preserves the meat. To cure the pork, the cut of meat is rubbed, soaked or injected with a blend of salt, sugar and nitrate. Smoking the meat is also a popular curing technique the gives the ham that distinct smoky flavor.
