Yeah... actually, no.

Ham has nothing to do with proving your Christian bonafides.

Ham at Easter is almost completely an American invention.

Over the years my family routinely swapped back and forth between ham and lamb for Easter. I absolutely adore lamb, and would love to cook one, but it's tough finding half legs of lamb in this area, and a full leg is just simply too much for me.

Last time I had lamb for Easter was 6 or 7 years ago with Castle Key. Well, he didn't eat it. He hates lamb. He's a picky bastard. :rofl:
