There’s a 120-year-old smoked ham in England with it’s own show.
“In 1902, one of P.D. Gwaltney Jr.'s cured hams was overlooked, and for 20 years, it hung from a rafter in a packing house. By 1924, the pet ham was kept in an iron safe which was opened daily for guests to view, and it was advertised as the world’s oldest Smithfield ham. Gwaltney fashioned a brass collar for the ham and took it to shows and expositions to exhibit the preservative powers of his smoking method. The ham was featured in Ripley’s Believe It Or Not in 1929, 1932 and 2003.”
Personally, I wouldn’t try it. On the other hand, I use to inhale those nasty Arby’s Hot Ham 'n Cheese in my youth like they were oxygen, so my testimony should probably be stricken from record.
