I changed the time line a little for humor, we probably consumed 90% of it. What was left was just taking up space and mocking us. Oh it lasted a while, we just could not stomach to eat anymore.

I suppose that this mentality might be changing. Veering off topic, I though that ham was cured precisely to last a long time? I know that that is not the case, so what changed?

Its hard to donate handled food to a food pantry or kitchen. They do not take just any food for various reasons. It was for sure one of thing hardest things to get used to moving to the U.S. because as other Colombians would know, there is hardly ever any food that is ever thrown in the garbage because you always know someone in need in your own neighborhood. That is a whole other post. Camilo, this post was just to make people smile :) We would have gladly donated it, and hindsight we should have done that from the beginning but we thought we were going to consume it.

But I also understand that this is normal in consumer America, so no way around it. You should have tried to donate to a kitchen!

Have a hard time believing none of your friends would take it, though: we pick up an 8-lb honey-baked and a 6-lb standing rib roast for Christmas each year. Many years I'm eating prime rib sandwiches up to New Year's Eve, but there's <i>never</i> any left-over ham by the day after Xmas... Funny stuff.
