The big problem with (I find) with the Guinness is that it can and will over power the complexity of flavours that one is trying :?: :!: to bring into the flavour profile

It is a fine balancing act between good and great; good to me is mediocre :wink:

I doubt that there will be any of the ham left by this time next week , let alone in six weeks :D.


Well its been a long time so I expect that all the crumbs have gone, Just finished cooking my last one so now it will have to wait until I get back for more to go down. If things go right you just might get a taste :wink:

6 weeks until your visit! I do hope we have a chance to meet up so that I can buy you a drink and say thanks in person for this recipe.


29 days and counting :D

I have one client who has repeatedly asked for some more Suffolk bacon (streaky) and so it it is with 'great' hardship :shock: I comply with their request :lol: :lol:

I have decided to take a page out of your book and try/go with a stronger stout ..... Guinness :mrgreen:

Reports to follow

I know, I know. ... but you must remember Ruralidle you do live in the land of 'luxury' and 'plenty' :lol: :lol: besides Wheels seems to think that Emmets used the stuff for some time, besides I'm a Northern lad and the first thing comes to mind is Boddingtons :wink:

Fair comment, but it was the stout used in the most famous producer's ham, 'By Royal Appointment'!

I live quite local to Harvey's of Lewes brewery, which of these beers would you say is most suitable/or not!? http://www.harveys.org.uk/beers/seasonal-draught-beers.

Their 'Best bitter' is fantastic, and there's even a local off license that sells it on draught (lucky me :) )

Well BriCan, the choice on the website you linked is better than I thought it was but, personally, I would go for Wychwood or the Duchy Old Ruby ale. Guinness is cans and bottles is not my favourite (though it is quite palatable on draught in Ireland). Now that we have such a wealth of "craft" breweries in the UK there is a great range of beers to choose from. Also, I prefer to support the small brewers wherever possible, rather than the multi-nationals like the brewers of Guinness - even if it is "by Royal Appointment" :)
