Question

What spice do butchers use for raw beef ham?

Answer 1

whats up with that?

Answer 2

Jamaican pepper, I used to work in a butchers. I think its a scottish thing.

Answer 3

no such thing

Answer 4

Beef and Ham are different meats. Doh!

Answer 5

It is predominantly ground allspice (Jamaciam pepper as Ilene said) but I think some add in some cinamon and perhaps clove.

Some entertaining answers here though from folks who don't know what spiced beef ham is.

Yes it exists, yes it is scottish (sadly can't get it here in edinburgh though) and no it is NOTHING like Bresaola or Carpaccio or any other dried beef or ham David LOL

Edit: Found a link to a supplier (of spiced beef ham) for those who doubt this exists

Answer 6

raw beef is from cattle & ham is from pigs    DOH!!

Answer 7

You talking about the air dried beef known as Blunderfleish or Brasoila in Italy, it is salted and cured much like prosciutto and then air dried, in a air circulated room until dried similar to a salami, then it is slow smoked only for flavour not to cook it.

Spices would be powder like paprika, garlic, allspice and cloves. I have used it and like it, not everyones cup of tea, but it has a mild flavour like prosciutto and is served in a similar way, generally cold with veg or fruit, sometime like the dish called carpaccio, with olive oil, slivers of parmesan cheese and fresh ground pepper. It is mainly used as an appetizer or snack type food.

Answer 8

WTF raw beef ham ham comes from a pig beef from a cow ...is this a trick question...
