Re: Boiling bacon or gammon joint
Coriander does not like change i.e. hot, then cold or cold then hot. Does not like transplanting, bit of an awkward customer to say the least. We have found it best to plant seeds in autumn and/or spring, last we did in autumn over wintered really well despite heavy snow. Also worth noting that some varieties are grown specifically for their seed, so will flower quickly naturally – look for a slow bolt variety.

Re: Boiling bacon or gammon joint
You probably will Lorna. I did. Got VERY excited at seeing raw prosciutto and asked if it would be suitable to either boil or roast and the butcher said yes. What we ended up with was boiled pork 
Curing in sodium nitrate is the trick so if you can hold of what uk_grenada suggests that would be an option. Otherwise it's a suitcase job.

Otherwise it's a suitcase job.I forgot about the curing part. Will have to wait until I'm next in the UK then or somebody comes out here.
