city ham
Brined leg meat
City ham is a wet-cured ham, brined or injected with a salt solution, as opposed to country ham, which is dry-cured.
City hams are milder, moister, and fully cooked—the pink sliced ham most Americans encounter at delis and holiday tables.
The name reflects its association with urban markets rather than rural smokehouse traditions.
