Do slices from a hind leg cut have the same flavour as those from the shoulder?
Hind leg cuts are preferred over shoulder cuts because slices have a more attractive appearance, but the flavour is virtually the same. The difference in price is due to the fact that there is more meat on the hind leg cut. When you purchase a ham, you should decide which cut to buy depending on how soon it is to be consumed, and no more than 3 or 4 weeks should go by from the moment it is first cut until it is finished.
