[laura1986]

in the ham and cheese recipe, it says to put diced ham in. does that mean packet ham? confused?

[laura1986]

also whats heavy cream? and what does minced mean?x

Diced ham can either be thick cut ham which you can dice, or walmart has already chopped ham in a package in small or large chunks. It doesn't mean lunch meat, but i guess you could if you wanted to, I have! As for heavy cream, I use heavy whipping cream, don't know if it's the same thing, but that's always worked for me! It's next to the milk at the grocery.

whats walmart?

[runawayllama]

Seriously? It's a super market, a superstore....I guess you don't have one where you live, but they're everywhere and apparently taking over the world lol

i think its called double cream in europe, but keep in mind thats a texan telling you that, i might be wrong.

[laura1986]

ha ha yes im serious i live in UK, they dont have those supermarkets here.

and double cream makes sense yes its probably that. thanks

[Elizellen]

Kibskix is right heavy cream in USA = double cream (also single cream) in UK

Minced means cut into very small pieces - like minced beef - using a mincer like this

or this oldfashioned style

or you can use a food processor to chop it into little bits.
