TinDC Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Does anyone know where in the area to buy tasso ham? I have a recipe for shrimp and grits that calls for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Gastreaux Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I complained a couple of years ago on eGullet about not being able to find tasso ham anywhere. Babka brought me some back from Louisiana so I had some for a little while. I think mail order is probably your best bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jparrott Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 You can use country ham in a pinch. Not exactly the same (you'll want to add more seasoning, as tasso, IIRC is highly seasoned), but it'll give you your salty porky goodness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbq4me Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 You might try wegmans or dean & deluca, d'artagnan makes one that's passable. But the best is mail order, I get mine from Poche's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brendanc Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I tried Wegman's. Nada. Maybe the pork guys at Eastern Market can get some for you. Otherwise Mail order is the best bet. I buy mine from a dry goods co. that gets it from Louisiana but they do not have a retail outlet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roo Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I recently purchased some tasso from one of the stalls at Eastern Market, probably the guys that Brendan is talking about. They don't have it in the display case, but just ask for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sthitch Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I saw it at the new Whole Foods in Alexandria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLB Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Arrow wine in Arlington, they had a sale the other day on D’Artagnan tasso ham, and smoked sausage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinDC Posted March 24, 2006 Author Share Posted March 24, 2006 Thanks for all of the leads. I need such a small amount that I hesitate to mail order. But Arrowine and Whole Foods are good options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
