slo’s TUESDAY poll - Krakus Polish Ham

[slo]

Do you eat Krakus Polish Ham?
If yes, how much do you like it?


For Me…..I have it in my fridge probably 80% of the time.
We all like it here for a sandwich at lunch time.
I’m making a ham sandwich in about 5 minutes for my DD18s school lunch.

I’ve never heard of it, but am curious about what makes it different? Is it a brand/style?

 

[RedAngie]

It’s a brand of deli meats. They sell more than ham.

I sometimes buy it, but it’s not sold in the market I frequent most often.

 

[Kitty 34]

Never had it but it sounds like something my DH would like.

 

[maxaroni]

Don’t like ham to begin with, so voted that way. Although, I have never heard of this brand.

 

[design_mom]

I have never heard of this brand, nor "polish ham." Is polish ham different than other kinds of deli/lunchmeat ham? I'll eat deli ham, but we usually buy Sara Lee, I think.

 

[scbruno]

Never had it but I like ham sometimes.

 

[Meriweather]

Never heard of it or seen it.
I buy ham.....both sliced and in chunk form.

Krakus is a higher quality deli ham. If I'm going to eat deli ham, which isn't very often. It will be Krakus. My wife and older son love it and I have purchased it while driving through the Chicago area to bring home for them. I can get it occasionally at my local Piggly Wiggly, but Kroger and Festival don't have it. Meijer might carry it in all of their stores.

Never heard of the brand but I’m are in Canada.

It is the same as polish sausage? That I have had and like.

 

[ronandannette]

I eat a ton of ham sandwiches but almost always buy pre-packaged from the meat section, not deli-sliced. I’ve never seen this particular product.

 

[prairie_girl]

Never heard of it but I don’t eat lunch meat.

 

[CynBeth]

Never heard of it and do not eat ham.

 

[Moliphino]

I'm not a big fan of ham in general.

No, it’s deli ham. Mostly sold sliced-to-order, but they do have 3 and 5 pound “uncanned”hams and packaged pre-sliced.

 

[Forevermarypoppins]

I like it!

It was in my household growing up. MY dad had a ham and cheese sandwich packed in his lunch almost every single day and Krakus was the ham. Our cat at the time also loved Krakus ham. As soon as the fridge door opened she was there and dad always gave her a piece.

No, there really is little if any difference than any other imported deli hams. Just a matter of personal preference.

Poland is noted for high quality ham. It might be a marketing thing, like French wines have this aura of superiority.

 

[luvnwdwgal]

I’ve never heard of it. I seldom eat any kind of lunch meat anyway.

 

[RedAngie]

Don’t get me wrong, Krakus IS a higher quality deli ham. Real, minimally processed, not “ham and water product” or even worse from what I’ve seen, “ham, water, and binder product.”

 

[Dan Murphy]

I like it. We rarely buy sliced ham now but as a kid, my folks made us ham sandwiches quite a bit. I know Krakus was a word heard often at home.

A couple pictures might help here.
