"Gammon is the name given to the meat from the hind legs of a pig that has
been cured in the same way as bacon. The main difference between gammon and
ham is that gammon will be sold raw and needs to be cooked; ham is sold
cooked or dry-cured and ready for eating. Once gammon is cooked it can be
called a ham and may be sold as a gammon ham."
