HAM IN THE PHILIPPINES
- Origin of the word ham:
The word ham comes from the Old English hamm. It is said that country ham is first mentioned in print in 1944, referring to a method of curing and smoking done in the rural sections of Virginia, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Vermont and other nearby states.
- What it is:
Ham is the thigh and rump of pork from the haunch of a pig or boar. Although it may be cooked and served fresh, most ham is cured in some fashion.
The American people refer to the cuts as ham. Also, they considered it to be the ultimate holiday “entree”. On the other hand, ham is called gammon in United Kingdom and jamon in Spain.
- Use of Ham in the Philippines. Some Spanish inherited customs:
In the Philippines, ham is called “hamon” and is very popular during Christmas season. And the most popular variety of ham is “hamon de Bola” which is a ball-shaped ham. During Christmas season, Philippines tend to go to several supermarkets to buy this food which plays an important part during this Yuletide season. It is then served on the table in preparation for the “Noche Buena” together with the other delicacies and fruits. Other Philippines considered ham as a present or gift to other people like in the office or even to their own relatives. The reason behind why Philippines like ham is that they enjoy the sweet flavor of ham specially that it is being served during Christmas season.
“Hamon” is part of the diet, gifts, customs and culture of the Philippine people.
