Help .. how do you slice ham (gammon joint boiled)

[Twiglett]

is it with grain or across the grain IYSWIM?

Surprised Nigella doesn't tell you though

did you put an onion in with the coke? that seemed to make it taste yummy.

Oh and she does tell you on the website....

'Ifind now that mild-cure gammon doesn't need soaking. If you know that you're dealing with a salty piece, then put it in a pan covered with cold water, bring to the boil then tip into a colander in the sink and start from here'

bit late now sorry!

I wondered that too, How do you "know you're dealing with a salty piece"? Eat a chunk raw?

err on the side of caution! the real Lucycat would eat it raw for me, but her vocab isb't up to 'yep this is a salty one'
