Subject: ham

Hi,
Excuse me for my ignorance but, what makes ham, "HAM", rather than just a leg of pork. When I buy a leg and roast it, it never comes out 'hammy' or pink, it's greyish colour!
Hope you can help.

Hi Lorna, we have an article about Ham here:

In short, ham is the butt and shank portion of pork.  Ham is almost always cured, whereas a roast lamb is cooked in an entirely different manner.
