Gardian Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Can somebody help please ? We’ll be (unusually) here in France for Christmas. We quite like gammon - usually poached in all sorts of thing, and then briefly baked off in a hot even and served with parsley sauce. What should I be looking for in the supermarket? Can’t find the right name in any of my books. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherbanana Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 It translates a jambon fumé if that is any help. Whether you can get the big bits we are used to remains to be seen. Surely your friendly local butcher will know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveLister Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 If you're going to cook it yourself you should ask for a jambon frais or demi sel. Chances are, if you ask your butcher for a 'jambon gammon' he'll probably know what you mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le martin-pêcheur Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Hi, Nearest we've ever found is this, not large portions though😉 https://www.intermarche.com/produit/jambon-cœur-de-braise-a-poeler/3275461001638 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardian Posted December 13, 2023 Author Share Posted December 13, 2023 Gentlemen ......... Thank you very much for your help. Yes, I was indeed looking for a ‘lump’ weighing about 2kgs max. I’ll indeed visit our local ‘proper’ butcher and try him with your suggestions. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alittlebitfrench Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 I have never seen proper gamon steak in France. It that the one you soak before cooking? Served with swede ? yum yum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
