We buy uncooked hams. They are cheaper and taste better. In the US at
Easter time, they just about give them away, US$1.29 a pound, sometimes
less. The whole hams are the cheapest, but that's way more than we can
eat. The shank half is cheaper, but we tend to burn the bone, making
the house smell bad. So we usually get the butt half, which is the most
expensive.

I can do without spiraled hams. They are convenient for some people.
