Greetings from Dallas Becky!
My Mom was from Kentucky, the Richmond/Union City area (outside of Lexington).
I've spent many a summer in Richmond while growing up and truly believe that Kentucky is home to some of the best food in the USA.
My DH and I get an Old Ham every couple of years and make one for the holidays.
For me, the older the better! Dh didn't grow up around sugar-cured ham so we soak it longer than usual, but even then, DH will still comment on the saltiness but keeps on eating
I hope you have some recipes to share!
