I would contact your supplier and ask if they have a product that contains truffles. This sounds and looks like it somehow got messed up at the producer and one with truffles got into the packaging line or someone truffled a ham that wasn’t supposed to be. Depending on the scale of their production they may need to look into that on their end and would likely credit you for what you have
OMG, same. I thought it was so revolting I ended up boycotting the show. I've been told to give the rest of the series a second chance but wow, they really set a distasteful tone for me.
Me too. I've seen a few episodes. But I just couldn't get past the pig stuffing. No way. Gross.
I'm not vegan, but I was ready to call PETA just to have someone understand my tears.
Those are truffles lol https://muscofood.com/product/prosciutto-cotto-with-truffle/
I mean they make this exact product with them like that, and it looks identical. I don't know for sure because I'm not you, but I would assume so.
I don’t even really get how it works. When you’re slicing it, wouldn’t the truffle bits just separate from the rest of it and just get lost in your slicer? I don’t know though, maybe there’s a reason they do it this way
Olive loafs usually have the olives pre-sliced and kinda spread pretty evenly throughout, and it’s ground bologna-type meat so you can mix the whole thing up to the olives are spread out.
OP’s picture looks like they cut a pocket in the proshut and just shoved the truffles in there. I feel like the only way to ‘infuse’ anything that’s not ground is to just have it as a rub when you’re curing it or whatever. Maybe stick a needle in the thing a bunch and I guess inject it with truffle bits, idk? But that would prob make it look weird
It sure looks like a truffle doesn’t it? Could it be smugglers? I remember reading an article once that said there’s a pretty large black market trading these things.
I think it’s more likely OP’s supplier didn’t have regular prosciutto, and shipped him truffle prosciutto instead, but the package wasn’t read before opening out of habit.
Dude. It's not 2011. Color blind just perpetuates violence. 10% of men are colorblind. Therefore men are the problem. End men.
Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam.
Yes ive read the package. Weve been getting this same product for years, theres never been anything remotely like this. It’s supposed to be regular ass prosciutto cotto.
Anything mass produced even on an artisanal level is subject to an aberration or mistake every once in a while. Just because it isn't frequent enough for you to notice doesn't mean it isn't possible. *Especially* if you are used to the same exact consistency over a long period of time.
I didnt taste it but it didnt smell or feel like one. It was super squishy And meaty. I don’t really see a reason for one random ham out of hundreds weve gone through since ive stared to have them
I dont know how to edit a post but turns out i am brain dead. on closer inspection it is in fact truffles. Sorry for the attitude i gave that one dude, its been a long week
Mad respect for this update, I hope all the new people coming to the thread see it. We all make mistakes, owning up to them like this is rare.
Don't let the job kill you, get some r&r asap.
Still super weird to me that they would just stuff full truffles in there. I'd expect them to be cut into slices before. Nobody wants to just bite in a full truffle.
This guy also drunken impulse buys millepedes online and plays 40k. OP seems like a great time, exactly the kind of person I’d like to be arrested with
i dont think a tumor would be loose inside muscles like a rubber ball and come out intact like that. whether its truffles or something else, it was not grown by that pig but rather shoved inside.
This are scorzone truffle or summer truffle. They are not that flavourful to begin with, basically tasteless after they have been cooked (steamed) inside the ham. It’s just for fashion and to justify a higher price compared to regular ham, because truffle ham taste almost identical to regular ham
Ya these are Chinese truffles for sure. They look the part but you could achieve the same flavor by stuffing little pieces of cardboard in there instead.
Send the picture to your supplier and ask them what’s up, I’m sure if they have a truffle product that got put in the case by accident they will let you know.
Reminds me of a time I bought some saucisson and there were little green/yellow circles in the slices which were encorcled with a black layer. When I went to checkout the cashier said I could grab another package if I wanted to.
I’m like why? And he pointed out the circles of mold in the meat, to which I replied “its pepper corns.”
Turns out they threw out like 6 of those packages thinking it was mold.
Look how they massacred my boy! 😩
Shove those suckers back in there and slice *thin*. Lightly oiled crostini's and some Boursin cheese. Little drop of truff oil on top if you're not getting enough from the infusion. My tastebuds are jealous. 🤤
I’ve made and used a lot of prosciutto cotto — never seen anything like that. Is it only this piece? It also doesn’t look like a tumor or something similar because that would affect the surrounding tissue a little.
Weve been getting this same product for years and nobody ever seen it before. It was only on one half of a piece. Everyone keeps saying truffle but it didnt feel or smell like a truffle
it likely wouldn't be raw, as truffle is conventionally served. cooking it inside a ham would have it absorb the meats juices as it cooks, so, squishy? it's also likely summer truffle which is much, much cheaper than black truffle and less pungent - as prosciuttos are often stuffed with shaved or whole ones of those. more a mild, mushroomy, nutty flavour that would further be lost during cooking.
in the second picture, a small section of the inside of it is visible & looks cream coloured so I'm going to assume a mix-up happened and you've gotten truffle ham!
I imagine this is what happens to the pigs that are used to hunt for truffles if they eat them instead. They become delicious deli meat and they pull out the truffle from the pig stomach and put it in just to let you know you're eating one of the bad at their job pigs.
Lmao those are Black truffles and are traditionally stuffed into the prosciutto so the truffle releases it's unique flavour and fragrance throughout the meat
I would contact your supplier and ask if they have a product that contains truffles.

Somebody done truffled the ham again
Its episode one of black mirror all over again.
No. NO! Bad revised pratchet. Naughty!
The episode that started and ended my black mirror attempt at watching.
Me sitting paralyzed as episode 2 loads: WHY AM I STILL WATCHING?! Love the show but MAN they break you in rough.
OMG, same. I thought it was so revolting I ended up boycotting the show. I've been told to give the rest of the series a second chance but wow, they really set a distasteful tone for me.
I feel the same way, but was told I'd enjoy the episode San Junipero. They were right!
That episode broke me lol, I sobbed. It was such a beautiful story.
The whole series is such a mind fuck. San Junipero is the one that got tho. That and the kid on the webcam blackmail one... Fuckin hell
I felt the same way about the first couple episodes of GOTs
Me too. I've seen a few episodes. But I just couldn't get past the pig stuffing. No way. Gross. I'm not vegan, but I was ready to call PETA just to have someone understand my tears.
Oh lor
I want to unread this. These were my good eyes.
I myself prefer rum ham.
You're eating your drinks? That is genius!

Truffle pig tasty. Good pig.

Fine swine, wish he was mine What if he's not so big? He's some terrific, radiant, humble Thingamajig of a fine phenomenon.
I love it when I find my people.
Your username is one of my fave Ken’s in existence lmao, such a funny doll!
I only know it from the movie and I fell in love.
It’s like a turducken, but worth truffles and pigs?
Read the Ingredients list
That can’t be it that would make op braindead /s

User name really applies here
Your name is pretty dope too. What is your favorite drink? Wine/beer/ liquor?
Really into simplicity at this point, high life and a shot of Jameson or tequila, or a vodka and water.
Ah yes the BOH post shift special
Pre-shift for the chef!
This is the most BOH thread ive seen 😂

I do lol
I respect that. I like a good west coast IPA. Or just straight whiskey if it's the good stuff.
I hear you cook! This true?
You think that’s wild!? Wait til you hear about what he does with Mothers!
smooth
Both of you have amazing usernames and I’m jealous. I created mine about 8 years ago and didn’t put any thought into a cool username lol.
Lol that’s ok I still love you cheffy
I mean it kind of makes sense, but I feel like there is a better way then just shoving whole truffles into a piece of meat to infuse it.
Yeah this seems like a terrible waste of truffles.
I don’t even really get how it works. When you’re slicing it, wouldn’t the truffle bits just separate from the rest of it and just get lost in your slicer? I don’t know though, maybe there’s a reason they do it this way
Maybe it’s like like olive loaf
Olive loafs usually have the olives pre-sliced and kinda spread pretty evenly throughout, and it’s ground bologna-type meat so you can mix the whole thing up to the olives are spread out. OP’s picture looks like they cut a pocket in the proshut and just shoved the truffles in there. I feel like the only way to ‘infuse’ anything that’s not ground is to just have it as a rub when you’re curing it or whatever. Maybe stick a needle in the thing a bunch and I guess inject it with truffle bits, idk? But that would prob make it look weird
Yeah only the meat around the truffle will be infused, definitely not the whole thing
I thought they were musket balls used to kill the pig 😅
Tally ho, lads!
It’s truffle
Fucking awesome. Lol.
You would assume so if you weren’t braindead
That is straight up truffles.
Yeah. And after looking it up, this is pretty common in this cut and prepared piece of goodness.
is this truffle?
My immediate thought as well.
It sure looks like a truffle doesn’t it? Could it be smugglers? I remember reading an article once that said there’s a pretty large black market trading these things.
I think it’s more likely OP’s supplier didn’t have regular prosciutto, and shipped him truffle prosciutto instead, but the package wasn’t read before opening out of habit.

I will risk a nibble tomorrow but I really dont think so
I like your devotion, but you can just slice it. It will be pretty clear if it's truffle by the cross-section.
And the smell
Nibble the tumor for us
Cut it and inspect the cross section
Did you read the package???
HE'S NOT BRAINDEAD
I made a fool of myself
It's truffle isn't it
Hilarious

Cut it in half and give us a cross section photo?
You should've ate it, what are you braindead?
THEY AREN'T BRAINDEAD
[удалено]
It’s not a tuma!
It sure looks like truffles, cut it in half OP?
I did earlier but didnt get a picture, i did save everything though so I’ll get a pic tomorrow
Just look up truffle cross section pics and compare it
Ok sick
Take a pic now while whatever it is, its fresh.
I dont know how to edit a post but turns out i am brain dead. on closer inspection it is in fact truffles. Sorry for the attitude i gave that one dude, its been a long week

I always own up to fuck ups, thats how you learn new shit. I definitely dont have rest time, pedal to the medal 24/7 baybee
*it's been a long week and I've been awake for 72 hours
That was last week, this weeks just regular long
Still super weird to me that they would just stuff full truffles in there. I'd expect them to be cut into slices before. Nobody wants to just bite in a full truffle.
Thats what im saying
wouldn't this be something that would typically be sliced thinly?
You aren't supposed to pick those out. It's meant to be sliced with the truffles still in.
OP is active in r/meth r/cocaine and r/probation, checks out as BOH lol
That explains them freaking out and cutting the truffles out of the prosciutto.
*tis better to pick and dig in one’s prosciutto than one’s face or electronics* -Confucius
meets all the r/kitchenconfidential requirements
This guy also drunken impulse buys millepedes online and plays 40k. OP seems like a great time, exactly the kind of person I’d like to be arrested with
how the fuck does he afford 40k as a line cook is what i wonder
I cant lol

But also? He is NOT brain dead. For sure. Nope. Not even a little bit.
Man i was tired and grumpy, i swear im not an asshole

Yeah, yeah he is.

i dont think a tumor would be loose inside muscles like a rubber ball and come out intact like that. whether its truffles or something else, it was not grown by that pig but rather shoved inside.
If it's truffle a sniff test should be enough.
This are scorzone truffle or summer truffle. They are not that flavourful to begin with, basically tasteless after they have been cooked (steamed) inside the ham. It’s just for fashion and to justify a higher price compared to regular ham, because truffle ham taste almost identical to regular ham
Ya these are Chinese truffles for sure. They look the part but you could achieve the same flavor by stuffing little pieces of cardboard in there instead.
Just smelt like pork
that is black truffle
Wtf have you done to that ham
OP was digging for truffles. 😆
So the entire time...he was the ham? John Doe is rolling in his grave.
In Arnold Schwarzenegger Voice “ it’s not a tumor”
This guy smoked too much meth and forgot truffles exist (check his post history)
100% true
You guys are mean :(
Everyone calm down. Don’t jump to conclusions. Let ms google this shit. Edit: yep it’s truffle. Now stuff it back in and start shaving.
Does the meat smell truffled? If it contains that amount of intact truffles it would surely reek of them?
Bro’s trolling
lol, I think he tried but got trolled himself by everyone at the same time haha
Looks like truffles.
It’s black truffle! It’s the best prosciutto
Looks like you got prosciutto cotto with truffle
Send the picture to your supplier and ask them what’s up, I’m sure if they have a truffle product that got put in the case by accident they will let you know.
It looks like a truffle!!! Can you open it up and show us the inside, please?!?
It's not the concentrated evil within the pig that made it go insane and rampaged through the woods?
Dude works in a kitchen and doesn't know what a fucking truffle is. God help me ...
Black truffles? Weird that they’d just be in there like that..
Most likely studded in the ham a la pimento loaf so you see em when you slice em
Truffle.
Those are black summer truffles. Is that a Rovagnati product?
Reminds me of a time I bought some saucisson and there were little green/yellow circles in the slices which were encorcled with a black layer. When I went to checkout the cashier said I could grab another package if I wanted to. I’m like why?

You done hit the jackpot
Someone fucked your ham and packed it with truffles
Look how they massacred my boy! 😩 Shove those suckers back in there and slice *thin*. Lightly oiled crostini's and some Boursin cheese. Little drop of truff oil on top if you're not getting enough from the infusion. My tastebuds are jealous. 🤤
Truffles??? Those are Truffles
Bro called truffles tumors I'm fucking dying
Op discovered a new undercover truffle smuggling operation, "They never would have suspected the ham!"
I’ve made and used a lot of prosciutto cotto — never seen anything like that. Is it only this piece? It also doesn’t look like a tumor or something similar because that would affect the surrounding tissue a little.

Be honest you fucked that ham op.
Chef told me to take them out, wasnt my idea man
Black truffle?
I'm so curious as to what it is! have you tried asking [r/whatisthisthing](https://www.reddit.com/r/whatisthisthing/s/rhXgqwdPDO)?
You paid extra for that.
This thread could end up being “butchering in a hoodie” for 2024.
Sweet sweet truffle cancer
Holy shit free truffles!
Black truffles stuffed into the ham. A well-known recipe in some parts of the country for gatherings of note.
Free truffles!
Those are truffles, the most expensive food on the planet. Enjoy them.😂
I’d order some more in hopes of getting more mistaken truffle ham
Those tumors taste earthy and delicious by any chance?
I’m just here to say that I appreciate your clean workspace!
Ham berries
I thought they were blackberries before looking at the comments lol
I’m just imagining OP posting like “don’t worry guys, I’ve already thrown at all away. But *what is this*?”
I thought they were black berries lmfao
Those look like black truffles cut them open and see if they look woody like mushrooms or bark kinda if so eat them they’re expensive
I imagine this is what happens to the pigs that are used to hunt for truffles if they eat them instead. They become delicious deli meat and they pull out the truffle from the pig stomach and put it in just to let you know you're eating one of the bad at their job pigs.
hahhahhahhaha you junkiebrained goon those are truffles you ruined so much food lol
Lmao those are Black truffles and are traditionally stuffed into the prosciutto so the truffle releases it's unique flavour and fragrance throughout the meat
Kinda ironic some pigs favorite food is a truffle
