We don't celebrate Easter, but we are putting a new batch of kimchi into our fermenting crock!  :)

Re: Easter Ham?
« Reply #5 on: April 18, 2014, 01:02:55 PM »
bumping this old post...Any recommendations on where to buy an Easter ham (not limited to local neighborhood only..).  Are grocery stores good for this? I dont really eat meat, so am not versed on where is good to buy a good ham.
Thanks!
in the spirit of the original post, share your Easter dinner menus :)  We'll be having asparagus tarts, scalloped potatoes, easter bread, and ham (if I can find it :) )

You might try Muncan for a ham. They're a European (Romanian, I think) butcher specializing in all types of cured and smoked meats. I've never purchased a whole ham from them, but I've tried many of their bacons, prosciutti, and salami and all are delish. And they just posted on Facebook about having nice bone-in hams available. They have 2 locations - Astoria (close to the 46 stop on the R) and Ridgewood, I think. Call ahead, they are probably jammed on account of the holiday.

Just to follow up on this great suggestion...I DID get my ham!  And the guys that work at Muncan are just about the nicest ever.  They took the time to explain how to cook the ham, even though there was a line out the door of customers. I called ahead also, which was a necessity on the day before Easter. I went to the Astoria location, which was a two minute ride on the R. Thanks!!

I went to Muncan for the first time a couple weeks ago, and I agree 100%. The guys were really friendly, but the selection and sheer amount of meat is absolutely overwhelming. If you like sausage, this is the place to go.
I guess I got lucky and went when it wasn't too busy.

So glad you enjoyed the suggestion! I have been going here for a couple years... Whenever we have dinner guests, this is my stop for charcuterie, and I've yet to be disappointed with anything I've tried. The options can be overwhelming, but the guys help guide you through it, and are always willing to answer questions and offer samples of any of their meats, regardless of how crowded the shop is. A true gem of Queens, in my opinion!

If you like duck, I HIGHLY recommend the duck prosciutto... It's quite rich, but soooo good.
