Cooee. Phoenix I have my swear box ready.
Is it time to start cursing the gammon yet?

There was a thread the other day about ham Doodle.
Apparently gammon is an offensive word now (don't know why).
I did ask where phoenix was with the gammon but no response as yet.

People cannot just take a word like gammon, use it, in their view only, offensively and other people take offence and say it is non-pc!

It's a gammon - needing to be cooked.
Ham is different - it is already cooked.

So I will buy gammon.
And cook it.
Rant over

Now, where's phoenix?

I have four gammons ready to be cooked. One for us and the others for the AC in the U.K.

Is that why gammon is cursed, because it’s become offensive?
granygravy, 4 gammons! Must be a lot of cursing in your house tchgrin

I cursed when I did mine in the slow cooker!

It turned into 'pulled gammon' all by itself.
