Answer 2

The Virginia Baked Ham or the Smithfield Ham. Few places serve this dry cured ham with red-eyed gravy properly which mandates a virtual boiling of a slab of ham in coffee and butter (or if you are are a purist demand lard) for at least 15 minutes and bringing it to a simmer when the boiling begins. This process restores moisture and brings out the flavor. And only a very few know how to prepare a decent red-eye gravy which is another subject.

Adding moisture to a dry-cured ham requires time and patience. Use a moist oven and a low temperature and at least 12 hours of patience to expect perfection. Forget injections and other short-cuts. This is a quality product with a hefty price tag that demands a gentle touch. Most restaurant fare retains the name but eliminates the Quality Factor.

Go light on the pineapple and marachino cherries with mango and chutney glaze because this is a gourmand's dish and well worth the price only if properly prepared.

Answer 3

Despite the vaunted celebrity of the Smithfield Ham a vast majority of Virginian's will choose a Maine Lobster, a Kansas City Steak, or an Omaha Prime Rib everytime. A few will even choose a McDonald's Burger and Fries and then there are a rarer few that will opt for a Polish, Bratwurst or Chili Dog,
