The "unreal" dark chocolate+coconut bars are absolutely decadent in typical costco fashion, individually packaged in plastic though

I got the Serrano ham and am not impressed. Is everyone just pretending to like this poo poo? Is it an acquired taste? Is it supposed to be...gamey? It’s got a real funk to it, like a stinky cheese. It tastes like prosciutto that’s gone bad. Did I get a bad one, or is this what it’s supposed to be?

If you don’t like the ham can you return it? Anyone done that?

I bought one of those Kirkland signature master carve hams for $2.50 a pound, was like $8 total, for thanksgiving. Very nice ham, excellent ham flavor, would ham again.

I'm probably picking a couple of these on Tuesday. One for now, one for Christmas. I'd really like this trip to be the only one between now and New Year's. In years past I could sneak one more visit in, but I'm in what my governor now calls an EXTREME ZONE for the roni, so I think it's one and done.

Know they’re running some weird deals just for Black Friday, didn’t see it on sale in the store but maybe I missed it. I thought normally it was $3.50 a pound?

I have been slicing up the Master Carve hams and grilling them to warm them up. Pretty Tasty otherwise I vacuum seal a chunk and warm it in a hot water bath. If I think ahead I throw in a few frozen ice cubes made of spicy honey mustard before vacuum sealing the ham. Lazy I know but decent taste for the effort.

If you cannot differentiate between ham and jamon, the jamon is not for you. If you're expecting it to taste like a spiral-cut brown sugar maple glaze you're going to be disappointed. If you think that dry-cured charcuterie tastes weird in general, do not buy the jamon.

GORDON posted:Many years ago I had a visit from a friendly police officer who wanted to take a look at the big tomato plant I had in my kitchen, in front of the window, with the grow lamp. He must have been REALLY interested in the growing of indoor winter tomatoes. I love sharing my hobbies! If it was visible through the window, someone might have called on you. I had the same thing happen to me when I was growing herbs on my windowsill, even with no lamp. The police showed up and said someone reported I was growing weed, so they had to come in and look at it. Quick affair, they looked at the plants and went on their way. Idk who was dumb enough to report chives as weed.

I have not paid money for the ham myself or been given one to review so I can say this completely unbiased - the ham is awesome and I pity anyone who would not enjoy it outside of like moral/religious reasons. If it’s mediocre or even bad to you that is very sad. As someone else said yeah it isn’t gonna taste like a honey glazed Christmas ham but it’s not supposed to.

Just picked up the Klipsch computer speakers. Getting tired of my nearly 20 years old Bose ones. If not, it is Costco and back they go. Also picked up the Sous Vide they're selling. Gave it right to my wire to put under the tree with my name on it.

we have records of pliny the elder eating spanish jamon and noting that acorn was one of its flavors lol 'gimmicking' for two millenia

I haven't had any acorns to compare, but it's fairly plain as far as dried cured meats go. There's a specific funkiness to it that may be an acquired taste, and it sticks with you and haunts your sinuses after eating multiple pounds in a day because you have to prove a point to your wife that yes this 12 lb ham was not a waste of money at all.

Golden Corral Massacre posted:I got the Serrano ham and am not impressed. Is everyone just pretending to like this poo poo? Is it an acquired taste? It shouldn't be that funky. Serrano has a stronger flavor than prosciutto, but not excessively so. Somewhere in this thread I have a post with dishes that go well with serrano, but one of my favorites is making pan tumaca con jamon. It also pairs really well with queso manchego (most popular), cabrales, or queso tetilla. Another popular option is to do bocadillos where you basically just put some serrano and queso on bread, either warm or cold. The tapas version would be bocatines, which are smaller.
