    Just don't take up photography as a full time job. The piece of bread is out of focus but only half of the drawer is in focus :D

    Edit. I noticed you said late last night, you must've had a few to drink :D

    Don't worry, I do not intend taking anything up as a full time job and no, I did not say "late" last night.
    Don't take up proof reading as a full time job will you ? :p

    I went through an enthusiastic bread making phase but the indigestion, bloating and weight gain was too high a price to pay for the fantastic smell, the melted butter and sinful sarnies.......Warm bread is
    addictive

    Fortunately my bread making comes and goes otherwise I guess I'd be fatter than I already am.

    Gammon?? What is THAT?? I'm full circle back to food questions. I originally joined and connected with this forum when I bought my Speedy nearly a year ago. But I really got hooked on the forum when I asked about bacon rolls and black pudding! And got a lot (I mean a LOT) of interesting responses. The Triumph Forum is just so enlightening! ;) So....what is gammon??

    Here you go Sandi - I cheated and copied it from Wikipedia but it saves time!

    Gammon is the hind leg of pork after it has been cured by dry-salting or brining, which may or may not be smoked. Unlike most ham, but like bacon, it must be cooked before it is safe to eat. The term is mostly used in Britain, while other dialects of English largely make no distinction between gammon and ham.

    or if you prefer:

    Gammon is a pejorative term popularised in British political culture since around 2012, which received press coverage in 2018. In 2018, it became particularly known as a term to describe middle-aged or older men on the political right or who supported Brexit. The term refers to someone excitedly and wildly expressing a point with minimal detail, much bluster while exposing their ignorance on the subject under discussion; in particular, the colour of such a person's flushed face is compared to the type of pork of the same name. :cool::cool:

    Thanks, Steve! While I appreciate the clarification of the actual food that gammon is (basically ham?), I'm particularly excited to learn other meanings/uses of the word. Now I have a new perfect word to use here in the United States to refer to a well-known politician on our side of the pond.

    The thing to remember about gammon is that it is cut thickly and normally with its tough rind intact. It loses little colour when cooked and that colour is usually preserved through potassium nitrate in the curing process. Now potassium nitrate is itself used in gunpowder, cartridge primers etc., so we gammons should be handled gently and respectfully.

    US bacon isn’t! It is what we call streaky, not the better back bacon......

    When I was at school we had a physics teacher who was nicknamed "Gammon Head". Not because of a red face or anything, he just had a pig's face.
    His sticky out ears didn't help much either. Nice bloke though.

    Why do people find it disgusting when you put red sauce on one side of a bacon sandwich, and brown sauce on the other. I prefer mine like this but it must be Heinz tomato and Hammonds chop sauce.
