I need recipe to use up ham

Some highlights:
The meat and fat of a pig absorbs toxins like a sponge. Their meat can be 30 times more toxic than beef or venison.

A pig is a real garbage gut. It will eat anything including urine, excrement, dirt, decaying animal flesh, maggots, or decaying vegetables. They will even eat the cancerous growths off other pigs or animals.

When a pig is butchered, worms and insects take to its flesh sooner and faster than to other animal's flesh. In a few days the swine flesh is full of worms.

Swine and pigs have over a dozen parasites within them, such as tapeworms, flukes, worms, and trichinae. There is no safe temperature at which pork can be cooked to ensure that all these parasites, their cysts,and eggs will be killed.


The pig is so poisonous and filthy, that nature had to prepare him a sewer line or canal running down each leg with an outlet in the bottom of the foot. Out of this hole oozes pus and filth his body cannot pass into its system fast enough. Some of this pus gets into the meat of the pig.

Here is from an actual news source: http://abcnews.go.com/Health/PainManagement/story?id=6309464&page=1#.T1I9W5jlA20

"The pork tapeworm has plagued people for thousands of years. The parasite, known as cysticercosis, lives in pork tissue, and is likely the reason why Jewish and Muslim dietary laws ban pork."

Pigs are nothing but walking sewers.

split pea soup is great with ham, i actually just made a big pot of it and it's good for you

As the daughter of a hog farmer I just laugh. Some people believe everything that is spoon fed to them!
Eat what you want. I have a tapeworm that is begging me for some ham and bacon.:laugh:

Just curious...have you ever been to a farm? or a butcher shop? Have you ever actually seen a pig in real life?

I have never seen an animal butchered in person, but I have watched many food documentaries showing the process. And my cousins do 4H. I have seen all their ostritches, cows, chickens, rabbits and even pigs. Their cows are raised for meat. Although, it is a small farm, and they are fed organically with actual grass their, not corn.
