Jambons- Yea or nay

Omackeral

Commonly touted as a hangover food, this breakfast item is very divisive. People generally love them or hate them in my experience. Where do you stand on them? Do you prefer them crispy as f*ck or a little runny? Maybe you despise them.

I think they’re manna from the Gods myself and have been lying on my rotund arse debating whether or not to go and get one.

As long as they are cheese and ham and aren’t really dried out they’re good.

Not too crispy just flaky and not sitting there hours. The cook at home ones are the way to go exactly the same but cooked how you like and not sitting there all day

I seen some anchor get one of those yokes on a chicken fillet roll.

As they say on Dragons Den, on that basis,... I'm out.

Nothing worse than a dried out Jambon, but a fresh one with is like heaven in my mouth

They sell raw frozen ones locally and they are even nicer baked to perfection at home. Rather than the ones laying in a hot counter.

Yuck

Update- 100% going to get one, will report back.

Hmm, I dunno. Only had one once and I'd have to give them a second chance.

The one time I had one, I actually wanted a hotdog lattice but didn't know it was called that. Looked at the menu, saw 'jambon' and asked for that and got a jambon. It could have been delicious but it wasn't what I wanted so I half-ate it and threw the rest away in disgust.

You was robbed - a hotdog lattice is the platonic ideal, the jambon's just the shadow on the wall.

Awh yeah.

What a wonderfully constructed sentence that is. I aspire to intelligence like that.

Love them. Especially a bit gooey in the middle and not too crispy

What a roller coaster

Can’t bate a steamy jambonian on a cold walk to work/college. Never led me astray.

Is this the new "Avocado on toast" that the young people will piss their money away on and then moan they can't afford to buy a house ?

Unfortunately my philosophical writings are entirely pastry-centric - nothing but puff pieces :P

You can't piss away on culinary memories.

The Bakery in Rialto does some amazing jambons.

I've just added anchor to my vocab, thank you.

For me, jambons are a symbol of when I'm off the wagon.

Graces7

Yearning... Used to treat myself to one at one street market I did … Not a chance of ever tasting one again!

ENJOY! That are ace!

Kebab the night before, jambon the morning after.

So about this hot dog lattice....

Never had one, really don't appeal. Jam and cheese can't go well together. . .

The world needs more jambons.








I could use one about now.

I was the same, then I got one freshly made straight out of the oven. It changed my (breakfast) life.

I know there's ham on them but that would mix fine with the jam, it's the cheese/jam combo I'm not feeling. . .

Update: I’ve obesely purchased two

Flakey?

Homemade ones:
Pack of puff pastry
Diced sliced ham
Mix of grated cheeses

Delicious

A bit of pesto if you’re feeling fancy

Find I only ever get them when hungover but they are good yeah

Omackeral

Update: The Jambons were puffed up just perfectly giving them an almost dome-like quality. The edges had a small char on them but the flakiness still remained, as did the overall shape retention. The journey inside was like a cosy hug, really warm and soft and reassuring that everything would be ok.

Pastry - 9/10 hard to fault.
Cheese - 9/10 Again, remarkable.
Ham - 7.5/10 but this is probably because the other two were so on point.

Overall Grade A-

This is how recessions happen.

When hungover they are a great "starter" for the main course of a breakfast roll or hot chicken roll so its a definite yes for me.

LineOfBeauty

It's a no for me. The thought of them makes me queezy.

I like them but I'm more a sausage roll kinda guy.

They are sheer perfection as Mary Berry would say. You can only get them at hot food counters, or make them yourself. Nowhere sells them ready to bake at home

I have actually made them, and its surprisingly easy, as long you have one special baking tool

Jam and cheese go very nicely together - bagel with cream cheese and jam, goat's cheese with onion jam - mmmmm

I understand the bakery in Rialto does incredibly good "fancy" jambons.
I've only read about them though, I haven't gotten around to trying them yet, but I read they were lovely.

I love a good jambon myself, as long as it's not dry.

Absolutely.

Middle aged men have gotten so self-indulgent and weak, praising the virtues of stuffing their fat faces with disgusting petrol station food.

MMXX

Hot, cold, burnt to a crisp - cooked to perfection, frozen, uncooked - I don't care, if it's a Jambon - I will eat it.
