Why name Pork Gammon, Ham or Bacon?

by Alexander Hall August 18, 2016

Have you ever wondered why we give Pork names such as Gammon, Ham or Bacon? Well It doesn’t refer to the location of the cut but to how the meat has been treated.

Every kind of pork meat has been cured in some way, ours traditionally. You couldn’t call bacon pork slices because it has been cured or salted or smoked. The same applies to ham which has already been cooked. Gammon is just uncooked ham. It’s about where the meat has been rather than where it has come from. We don’t do this with other meats.

We have a wide range of pork products available, grab yourself some sliced ham for the kids lunches or a honey roast ham for that bank holiday party.
