Where in the World Isn't Bob Saget?

When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
I volunteer at a meal kitchen twice (sometimes thrice)/week. Today was my regular night, so we did dinner with my brothers last night.

I prepared our usual ham from Denninger’s.

It’s not in any way burnt, but the apricot glaze is very caramelized. This is what a 19 lb/$124 gourmet ham looks like.

Wow! That's a big ham! :happy: Hey Jennifer, I found the package label interesting -- it indicated protein 21%. (If I buy meat down here, the store lists the item, weight, and price only.) Is that something that pertains to that brand only, or is it common, regardless of brand?

I’ve seen it on lots of meat up here, but didn’t know why, so I did some digging. Turns out, it’s a federal packaging requirement for any meat that has added phosphate salts and/or water.

It provides an apples to apples comparison of various meat products so the consumer knows if a particular cut of meat has been overly pumped up with water. Adding water to meat is not a bad thing; every country does it. Canada just requires that protein levels be disclosed, so that the consumer can decide if they want a product with more or less water, thus affecting the protein percentages. (Typically the protein range on meat labels I see is from 18-21%.)

I’ll bet you’re sorry you asked. 😂

I think that's an excellent rule by your government. They should do that here!!
