Any ideas? I was going to go to eastern market and poke about. Help! Thanks!

I've always been able to order 20lb fresh hams with only one days notice. They can probably hook you up.

They are also at the Arlington market on Saturday a.m. Wed Apr 14 10:30:33 -0700 2004 911858 0 Bacchante 3 911885 I purchased an excellent 15 pound fresh ham from Union Meats at the eastern market this past weekend. It might be worth a call to them to check on the availability of a whole pig. 202-547-2626 Wed Apr 14 10:39:06 -0700 2004 911883 0 Coyner
