I've never really had a country style ham, 'ceptin' maybe a slice or two in a diner when visiting Alabama or Tennessee. and I'm really wanting to try one. I want to buy a whole one, but I'm kinda worried that with just two of us we won't eat it quickly enough, resulting in spoilage--and wasted $$. I THINK I know that one can hang around at room temp for a "long time", but must be refrigerated once cut into.
My basic questions are:
1) Am I correct about my thoughts above?
2) How long will an "opened" ham last in the fridge?
3) Can it be frozen?
4) Any recommendations as to a good brand? I'm expecting to mail order this.
5) Good uses beyond fried for breakfast and served on muffins with gravy?
Thanks in advance for your help and advice!
