I decided last week to place an order for delivery of meat from a butchers as the pricing seemed lower than supermarkets.
One of the things I wrote on the order was "gammon joint".
This is the type of thing I meant.

What I actually got was something like this.
groceries.morrisons.com/products/morrisons-large-unsmoked-gammon-joint-298554011?gclid=Cj0KCQiA1NebBhDDARIsAANiDD1l0hBWH_Lh06NWwScY-VjRm4vu5Vg9ek2mfNNLJW4DJWiOB9Z8dhQaAjbtEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
😧
When the order arrived, I was about to attend a zoom meeting so I just put the two very large bags into the fridge, to then freeze. When I finished work (wfh) I opened up the bags to put them all in the freezer (various different items) and discovered this monstrosity!
There is absolutely no way that I would A) know what the hell to do with it or B) eat it in a year! There's only DH and I here for Christmas as dd is going away to friends.
It's currently residing in my freezer.
Has anyone any suggestions as to who might appreciate such an item? It's the kind of size that would feed 20 people on Christmas Day and a further 20 people on Boxing Day!
I'm not sure about policies that homeless charities have for donations of meat? Would they be allowed to accept it? Or are there Facebook pages or similar where you can donate food or something? I've never donated anything like this so don't know whether anyone would accept raw meat. I don't want to see it go to waste and the butchers can't take it back of course (it wasn't their fault - it never dawned on me that what I wrote meant ordering half a pig).
