Very good, but not the same as slices from a whole braised ham.

They are (or at least used to be) common in the Shenandoah Valley of VA, too. The first one I ever had was in Lexington, VA at the Tolley's. I went along with Bud (and I assume the rest of the family) to a little gas station somewhere along Route 11. Inside there were a bunch of hams hanging on the walls. Bud and the gas station owner sniffed at a few and finally decided one was good and he bought it. Your uncle John still won't eat NC hams and refers to them as "gas station" hams. As far as where to purchase them, they were available at the WalMart in Harrisonburg while your sister was at JMU. Jesse,
