It's been a few years in the making but I thought it's about time to pay tribute to the folks who make Fulks Run Grocery and Turner Hams happen. Couldn't find a nicer bunch of people to do business with and the products they sell are absolutely top notch. They first caught my attention after seeing an article in Food&Wine magazine saying they had the best country ham sandwich in Virginia, that's not a small feat in a state known for hams, but they make it old school which is hard to find anymore. The simplicity of their sandwich is almost silly, but I'll guarantee you that you'll never taste anything better if you're a lover of ham prepared in these traditional ways. The ham is soaked to lessen the saltiness and then lightly floured and fried on a flat top which they serve on a very simple bun. It's easy to overlook the time and effort they put into making their country ham but it truly does shine in this sandwich, there are very few places left that cure ham the way that Turner does.The catch is that they only make these mini-masterpieces on Fridays during the summer and into the Fall, so plan your trip to pass by them on a Friday to experience these beautiful nuggets of ham history! Legend has it that their homemade pimento cheese is the ultimate addition to the ham sandwich, the lady that makes it was on vacation last week when I came back, but there's no doubt that I'll go for it my next visit read more
