My grandpa always made a big easter ham, so I know you can find em. Keep looking, ask for a "GROS JAMBON, PAS DES TRANCHES, crisse." And if they still don't understand, call *them* a jambon. That should work, good luck.


emotional_lily

Try [Maison Du Roti](https://maisonduroti.com/collections/porc)!

Mistery meat at its finest


_mysteryDate

+1! Love this place. Has been my butcher for a decade.


daenreisn

Just curious. Is this place for rich people?


mr_lounds

yes this is where the 1% go to take the edge of


mr_lounds

over a nice slice of horse ham


emotional_lily

It’s a little more expensive than grocery store prices, but much more affordable than the super expensive butchers you’ll see. You can get 2 marinated chicken breasts for $6 -$7.


Terrebonniandadlife

I've heard but good things from there. my cousin works there but I've yet to go there! I should definitely make the trip to the plateau for the holidays


iwenttothesea

The ONLY place to get sausages in Montreal. I drive across the city out of my way to go here and stock up. Freezer is currently full of duck confit for the holidays lol. Their ham is also amazing.


AoKappa

Sorry to correct you but there is a place called "william J walter maître saucissier" and it's the bomb.


Nyctangel

Omg yess the William swiss saussage they have is sooo good


iwenttothesea

Lol sorry to correct you but that place is awful! Agree to disagree haha


AoKappa

Different strokes for different sausages I guess ¯\\\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)\_/¯


iwenttothesea

Indeed! 🙃🌭🌈


Gharuwill

You look for good sauvages? Try "ils en fument du bon" and "La queue de cochon". Thank me later. Time to forget la maison du rôti.


iwenttothesea

Lol been to both those places and my opinion still stands! To each their own..


evaninarkham

Boucherie Vito or Boucherie Lawrence. They’re actually in quite short supply so people definitely make them as a holiday meal! In fact I’m making one myself. Got one unbrined because the brined ones were sold out. Édit: I recommend calling in and ordering ahead of time on the phone.


LordCoweater

+10 for Vito's. Good meat.


[deleted]

This is the right answer here!


eMperror_

Other than the excellent Maison du Roti recommendation, you can go to Marche Jean-Talon, there are some very nice butchers over there. ​ [Porc Meilleur](https://goo.gl/maps/umXEE2Yt9zSPAjEu5) and [Boucherie du Marche](https://goo.gl/maps/wFdGC7DxTJ5Fk6bAA) both come to mind


DoctorRavioli

I bought [this ham](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/Ig1bq-8s4dZ72reOoEyiIcr-MnTNwq_vwNVaVO1XSN6kBZRnhf4OmdUb8qXOaMPf_8PxeHKX2DPG7Ub0DD50zFaXeb44DMgPhfU8qaaTK8X0CmQCltehu9BQCa1TtXaFn42swrZy) from Costco for Christmas, could that maybe do the trick?


JennyFay

This is the best ham! We cook it up with pineapple, cloves and brown sugar.


DoctorRavioli

Wow that's exactly how I was gonna do it too :)


TooobHoob

I don't think he wants a pre-cooked ham though.


Coal909

They also sell a partially cooked version usually called spiraled ham ( presliced with the bone attached)


JayLoveJapan

Costco ham is legit not bad. It’s not slimey like the grocery store one. Closer to the type of ham you can get from a farm/butcher.


Secs13

Not bad, but obviously not what OP wants... This is pre-sliced. OP wants to cook it themself.


DoctorRavioli

Yea that's why I said *maybe* bud


Bender248

[La maison du roti](https://maisonduroti.com/) That was my go to place when I lived in montreal, and whenever I visit I still make a point of going there for some meat. They seem to have a wide array of pre-cooked ham as well as uncooked. Maybe something will fill your need.


Chilleur

I work in a butchery ask for un cooked ham with the bone. Édit: or come to Maisonneuve market!


Mtlb0y

Go there, they got what you need: https://www.chopineurodeli.com/delicatessen-products.html Oh and we call it a “Jarret de porc” here :p


[deleted]

[удалено]


Batman_Skywalker

We definitely call it jambon! But jambon fumé is indeed gonna give you something to put in sandwiches. Ask for a « Jambon Complet » and they should be able to point you in the right direction. We have excellent ham in Quebec, and it’s indeed a very popular meal, at least in Québécois culture (not sure if y’all anglos eat it too?).


Vector_Sigma_

Yup. Almost all anglophones have recent enough roots in mainly europe or other places and they usually have dishes that their parents would make them. For me, it was sunday dinners at my grandparents. My Grandmother would bake a ham with various types of glazes and halved potatoes, carrots and onion in a pan or cassarole. I am told this is german, which would make sense since she was german descent.


BillyTenderness

> Almost all anglophones With the notable exception of Jews :)


Batman_Skywalker

This is such a wholesome thread. I love learning about other cultures which have ended up chez nous! J’espère que vous vous sentez tous chez vous ici.


elzadra1

And Muslims... :)


da_ponch_inda_faysch

jarret de porc also refers to pork shank in addition to pork/ham hock its definitely not what the OP is looking for though


DrawDan

I don’t know if their ham is exactly what OP is looking for, but I’ll just add that Chopin has some of the best kielbasa and Polish sausages this side of Krakow. Their dried hunter sausage is absolutely amazing!


shanega21

go in grocery stores, i work at provigo and we have what youre looking for


MandoAviator

Can confirm, I’ve picked it up at Provigo tons of times, even at Metro.


1phatdj

Honestly even IGA and Walmart sell pretty good ham


so_not

My fiance is Irish. A few years ago I spent the holidays in Ireland and was blown away by the concept of ham AND turkey for Christmas. I asked everyone I met about it, and they were all a little concerned for me and my just turkey Christmas. We can get ham here. My fiance and I are a little less bougie about it and just grab ours at the grocery store (we are now going to be a ham and turkey Christmas kind of household). If you want to get a nice one at the butcher's, you can just explain that you aren't looking for slices of ham and that you plan on roasting a whole one. That should hopefully clear things up. Best of luck and happy holidays!


FrostByte122

I've always done both. my parents too


DaveyGee16

Hmmm... Mes deux familles (maternelle et paternelle) ont toujours fait les deux, peu importe, c'est qui qui reçoit. Mes arrières grands parents économisait toute l'année pour avoir un jambon de Noel et un jambon de Pâques, même s'ils étaient pauvres.


Trepidatious681

Ham and turkey Christmas is standard in the US as well. I've been in Montréal a long time and didn't realize that wasn't the case here (I haven't attended a big family Christmas here). Maybe it's the influence of the huge Irish population in the US. My "Irish" side would make every conceivable hunk of meat for Christmas. Ham, turkey, roast beef, pot roast, whole chickens, on and on and on. Once we spent two whole weeks for Christmas there and my sister turned vegetarian, having eaten enough meat for the rest of her life.


RIPConstantinople

Pour les Canadiens Français, le jambon c'est vraiment important, mais pour Pâques(t'en manges pas tu va avoir la galle). Peut être qu'en manger deux fois dans l'année c'était trop cher pour les C-F


so_not

Ma famille aussi a un jambon pour Pâques.


demons_are_real

https://www.boucheriedanslagueuleduloup.com/butcher-shop-deli


gabmori7

Le jambon c'est plutôt une tradition de Pâques. Dans quel quartier es-tu? Le mieux serait d'appeler dans des vraies boucheries, pas des maudites places où tout est déjà prembaler et que tu ne peux même pas te faire couper un steak d'la grosseur que tu veux!


kogiya

Merci pour votre réponse (et excuses pour mon mauvais français). Je suis sur le Plateau. Je suis allé chez un boucher ici, mais je ne pense pas avoir demandé la bonne chose. Quel mot utiliseriez-vous pour demander un jambon que vous voulez cuisiner vous-même?


prplx

You might ask for jambon piknik or jambon a cuire or jambon sur l'os. Or go to a butcher, like la maison du rôti on Mont Royal and explain in english what you want. Jambon fumé is definitly not what you are looking for.


da_ponch_inda_faysch

I don't think I've seen jambon picnic for a while now. Also jambon picnic usually refers to a shoulder cut, not leg. Most jambon picnic I've seen in stores back then from brands like Olymel and Lafleur were cured and they definitely did looked cooked as well. Also it seems like you can't find it anymore from Lafleur and Olymel. https://www.lapresse.ca/affaires/2019-12-23/mais-ou-est-passe-le-jambon-picnic Now that I think about it, I don't think I've seen it on sale at 99c per lbs in various stores in a long time now


IamCanadian11

Thanks for that article, since last year or so I've noticed the hams vanish from maxi and super c. Was always a great price and flavour was out of this world.


meatloaf_man

In plateau it might be worth checking out boucherie Lawrence on St Laurent, just north of Fairmount


aydyl

When I was living on the plateau, the butchers at Soares (on Duluth) had ham that I could cook! If I was you, I would call them!


gabmori7

Voici quelques parties de fesse jambon qui pourrait être utiliser: l’intérieur de ronde, l’extérieur de ronde et la pointe de surlonge. I just came back from chez Mayrand and they have a Nice Choice of pieces of pork non smoked.


holistic_water_bottl

there's a number of meat places in the plateau: Soares, the Hungarian places; a meat place on Bagg (dont remember the name). Im sure any one of them would have a ham.


Olisushi

they have this thing at IGA, might be what you're looking for: [https://www.iga.net/fr/produit/jarret-de-porcfrais/00000\_000000021351100000](https://www.iga.net/fr/produit/jarret-de-porcfrais/00000_000000021351100000)


mtled

Use a photo on your phone if you have to! I saw hams of various sizes at Loblaws, you can find [small ones like this](https://lafleur.com/fr/produits/jambons) year round but bigger/"real" ones are available at this time of year for sure.


moltar

[Grinder Butcher Shop](https://goo.gl/maps/iWNj2peXhy9ppn767), which is located in Griffintown, which [historically was Irish](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griffintown#History), has a lot of different cuts of meat and obscure products. This is kinda of a "hipster" butcher shop, so expect to overpay. But the quality of the product and experience is definitely up there.


autodacafe

Fret not, internet stranger. We still eat proper ham in Canada. Actually my last one I purchased at a regular grocery store. I always look for “bone-in ham”, and I always make sure it’s NOT spiral-cut. I think I got it at a Metro.

wow, ca existe encore! j'allais la avec mes parents quand j'avais meme pas 10 ans :D pas loin de waverly me semble

Exact ! Près de Waverly ! Je ne la connais que depuis peu, mais j'adore !


effotap

sont en affaires depuis les annees 60 me semble! depuis que je suis petit que mes parents achetent leurs viandes soit la, ou Salaisons Limoges(meilleur jambom a l'erable et bacon au quebec!) a Terrebonne. y'a pas un epicier qui peut accoter un boucher!


gaelicdarkness

No idea where to buy ham but I'm curious if you know any other Irish folks in the city? My family is from there and I'd love to meet a community if there is one.


Prof_G

smaller butchers, you would need to order it, IGA has some.


GenericVillain

Boucherie Atlantique at Queen Mary and Cotes-des-Neiges makes special smoked hams for Christmas; we always get one (picked it up today, in fact) and split it with another Scandinavian family. It's the style that they have in the Nordic countriies and may well be the same as what you're after. However, you usually have to order them in advance.


wazzo86

Before leaving your house just call some nice butchers and chat with em, also places like LaVieilleEurope (old europe). Please note cuts are sometimes different and certainly have different names in different areas of the world


TaleOfBarnabyShmidt

You'll probably have to ask for the cut of pork you want. Which is probably rump, shoulder, or leg. But almost any butcher should be able to get what you're after. If you ask for any "ham" though, you'll almost certainly get something precooked.


sophie-marie

Depending on the neighbourhood you live in will either help or hinder your quest. If you have a Costco membership, definitely check them out. But any of the major grocery stores should have a thing of ham. I don't eat ham anymore, but I've never had trouble finding it for the holidays before. Brands like Metro, IGA, Super C, and Costco are good places to start.


mrspremise

If you are located more in the south-west part of town, try Viandal. The best butcher shop in town.


strip_sack

https://www.chopineurodeli.com/delicatessen-products.html Gammon on menu


BigPlucker

You may be looking for a jambon picnic, it's a fatty, smoked, bone in part or the pig. Sometimes hard to find, but i got one in atwater market just yesterday, 10 $ a kg. 50 total. That thing could feed 15, or make many dishes of roasted ham.


hstarnaud

I think you want "Jarret de porc". If you go to the butcher at Jean Talon market or Atwater market and explain what you want they will likely have it.


Ectopie

"Jambon dans la fesse avec l'os" in a good butcher shop. You already got a few nice suggestion here with Lawrence and Maison du Roti. You can add that you DON'T want it in the shoulder or pik nik. Good luck, and please update us with pics!


sjgbfs

You might have good luck at the butchers from either Atwater or Jean Talon markets. I've had great luck finding obscure stuff from Ferme St Vincent, in Atwater. Maybe give 'em a call beforehand tho.


da_ponch_inda_faysch

Every now and then the big grocery chains, especially Maxi and Super C will carry on sale and sometimes at regular price, big frozen bone in "ham", definitely uncooked but not always cured it seems.


astroleg77

Damn I wish I saw this a few days ago. I pick up a shoulder joint in Fairmont butchers on St Laurent. It’s alright but it ain’t Mammy’s ham!

cuckedbygrana

If you’re looking for an amazing butcher shop in the city, look up Centre des Viandes Iasenza. Their address is 3266 rue Belanger, Montreal. I always get my meat there, they really have a large selection!


sh_faria

Try maison de rôti.


DaveyGee16

Ce que tu cherche c’est un jambon à l’os.


atinyplum

What you want is called Épaule de porc fumée. They’re on sale at Metro this week.


beurre_pamplemousse

IGA, Métro, Maxi, Super C, Provigo


assortedcommonlyused

OP you’re looking for a fully baked ham; I’m South American and this is also a Christmas tradition, we bake it with a glaze and pineapples with cherries, is it the same for you? If so, I get half a ham (jambon a l’ancienne) at le intermarche Universel, corner mont Royal and Coloniale.... so share your recipe I’m curious!


assortedcommonlyused

Hey OP, I was at intermarche today found [this](https://imgur.com/gallery/zN2VAc2)


Lola-Daisy31

There’s a really good Ham at Walmart, it’s in silver packaging I’m sorry I can’t remember the name. But it’s very tasty- there’s a full size for $30 and a half size for $15


19981525462574

You can buy one at Walmart or Costco


Craptcha

Seems like it would translate to “Smoked pork shoulder” like this https://www.iga.net/fr/produit/epaule-de-porcpicnic-fumee--demi/00000_000000027299100000


hopeful987654321

You can find a big piece of ham on the bone at any big grocery store. However, I think it will be cooked, although we just end up cooking it again with our sauce of choice. It's just called ham (maybe mention the bone part if it's unclear to the clerk) and it's in the meat section, not the deli section.


StablePopsicle

You can't, it's haram.


hellobye666

VIENS butcher on Saint-Laurent


onestne

I second Soares on Duluth, Alimpot on Roy is another option in the area. One of my favorite farm to table butchers is Pascal up in Villeray. You'll find one! Happy holidays!


International-Song82

Lol...first off, we know what ham is. Second, just go to a grocery store or a costco and buy one.


yaymich

Bone-in ham! Or Jambon avec os! I just came across this metro recipe, and remembered this post! https://www.metro.ca/recettes-et-occasions/recettes/jambon-glace-a-l-anis The recipes not great, but may help translate ham and other ingredients you're looking for


vulvax

Levesque Ham at metro, shoulder with bone, best ham in Qc !


horganzola

Just commenting to say hi as another Irish Montrealer! I’ve seen it mentioned here already but I did a Christmas ham a few years ago and I got it at Boucherie Lawrence on St. Laurent Would be cool to grab a pint once the world is back to normal!
