Honey-baked pork ham is cooked in every decent Irish home at Christmas, as a rival to the English Christmas turkey. For three centuries, the best hams in Ireland have been those from County Limerick - thanks to the oak groves, local pigs were on an acorn diet, which affected the taste. Interestingly, in relation to pig slaughter in Ireland, the rule of months with the letter R was in effect for a long time, similar to the well-known rule for catching oysters, that is, in the summer, pigs could feel relatively safe. But in winter, the butchers had more than enough work, all parts of the carcass were used: the hams were salted, weighed and stored until Christmas, something like jellied meat was cooked from the legs, bacon was smoked, the stomach was stuffed and fried (such a dish was called "a fake goose"), even the bladder did not disappear - it was inflated, dried and used as a ball.
