Some may think Cook's is an ordinary ham but it's never disappointed
me... and I really appreciate that the glaze is in a separate
packet... I don't use the glaze on the ham, makes it messy and my cats
won't eat it. I don't much care for that glaze either. I buy a
spiral sliced cook's ham like 2-3 times a year, for sandwiches, not to
serve to guests... and I don't clean the bone, I leave it meaty and
use it for pea/bean soup. I will never buy any Alexander & Hornung
products again... it's a disgusting product and they annoy me that the
do not answer their phone or return messages... they're probably
operating out of an abandoned garage in a ghetto slum. I think a
company that offers a phone number should answer their phone or they
are fly by night... stay far, FAR away from Alexander & Hornung
products.
