Smithfield ham (1853, 1859)

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

   There are wonderful Southern publications in the American Periodical
Series, but it doesn't look like they will be microfilmed any time soon.  The
SOUTHERN PLANTER AND FARMER, from 1841, is one great periodical I just don't have
yet.
   For DARE and others who have to have "Smithfield ham" right now, the best
is in the Making of America databases.

Pg. 747:  Smithfield hams are certainly the best produced any where at this
(Pg. 748--ed.)  end of Mr. Field's cable, and as the Westphalia granters know
not the taste of a nubbin, probably better than the boast of Europe.
