Hmm, must be from one of those bail-out hogs... that's more than twice
the price of a fresh ham. Yesterday at the little market in town
whole fresh hams were $1.19/lb, shank half $1.29/lb, butt half
$1.39/lb. I thought about it but decided on a five pound roast beef
for this weekend instead, top round $1.99/lb, got four big yams too,
and a couple pounds asparagus.
