HOW'S THIS FOR A RASHER?
HAM THIRTY YEARS OLD. The licensee of the Shepherd’s Boy Inn, Huddersfield road, Dewsbury, Mr J. W. Stephenson, can boast the possession of a ham 30 years old, which is as edible today as it was when cured. Tiie ham, which is probably the largest in the country, weighs one hundredweight, and on being seen for the first time gives the impression that it is petrified. This is due to the fact that Mr Stephenson discovered the novel method of preserving the ham by periodically giving it coats of lime wash. When the lime begins to crack, or falls off—this is due to the curious handling the ham —Mr Stephenson coats it again, otherwise the exposed part of the meat would go bad.
