About Gammon:

The sweetness of gammon means that it can be cooked using a variety of cultural styles, such as traditional British, spicy Asian and tangy European. It takes on other flavours well and you can pretty much cook it however you like, although it is particularly delicious slow-cooked as it practically falls off of the bone.

The word gammon actually comes from the French word for ham, 'jambe', meaning the hind-leg of the pig. Although all of these recipes state that gammon is the main ingredient, you could easily use a bacon joint or a ham hock in place of the gammon joint.
