I am pleased to report that Zabar's, one of the great food emporiums on the upper Westside in Manhattan, advertises in their meat department that they have Smithfield ham. Indeed, they do at $16.50 a pound and it is the real thing, shipped up from southeast Virginia. I bought and ate a quarter pound and am good for a month at least. Harold S.

Soaking to remove excess salt? Think I'll take a pass & stick with the buttered bisuits!
