Smithfield ham is more an appetizer (like munching salty pretzels), not meant
to constitute a main course. To substitute for roast turkey the only ham
that's comparable is a *fresh* ham. No cured/preserved ham compares to the
oppulent decadant succulence of a roasted fresh ham, and a lot more healthful
as it contains no preservatives.... get a huge one... bet yoose can't stop
eating.
