One of my favorite ways to start the day is with a thin slice of country ham on a toasted potato slider roll, but it’s hard to find good country ham at many of the local grocery stores. Kroger’s has none at all. I was in Food Lion recently and happened to stop by their Deli and asked about salt cured country ham. They had some, Hobe’s, a name I was familiar with.
Based in North Wilkesboro, NC. pound and Hobe’s has been dishing out great hams for 50 years. Hobert Gambill (Hobe) salt cures and ages each ham for over 90 days. They buy from the best hog farmers in the Carolina’s and their hams are delicious.
The thin sliced ham from Food Lion is perfect for country ham rolls or on biscuits or sliders for breakfast.
If you need some really good country ham, stop by Food Lion and let them thinly slice you up a pound or two. It’s priced at $9.99, far less than most other country hams and it’s good stuff.
