Man, you just stomped on my heart and smashed that sucker flat. Cook's
have been my favorite ham for a very long time. And I, who screams
about Hormel's added "flavor solution" all the time, absolutely missed
(wasn't even looking for it) that "23% of weight is added ingredients"
statement. I weep for sad. After reading your post I thought maybe
they don't do that to all their hams -- maybe just the ones that go to
Walmart--and I didn't get mine there. No such luck. :-( :-( <8*(
