All joking aside, you’ll have no bother with the hacksaw as long as the back/frame is clear. Otherwise I’d buy a few bits and pieces from the butcher and ask him as an afterthought - some ham bought you a ham and it’s too big etc
If your own local butcher won’t do you the favour of cutting it or lending you a bone saw to cut it yourself then he shouldn’t be your butcher.

All set Ham in the fridge Turkey being collected Christmas Eve. The Ham will be boiled in Coke as per Nigellas recipe and then fucked in the oven with glaze for 40 minutes on Tuesday. #jobisoxo
It would be a small bit embarrassing to go back to the butcher and say you don’t have a pot big enough for the ham you told him you needed.
This is a pure hacksaw job if I ever saw one.

Why would you be embarrassed? sure walk back in and say you’re an awful cod etc…
You may be disconnecting the differential between the ham and the owner.

Right enough, differentials, hams, owners. Too much for me to get my head round
You forgot the disconnections… FFS! If you forget the disconections you have no hope of understanding the differentials.
Lookit–it isn’t up to me to explain every nuance here. poster @TreatyStones procured an ham that exceeded his appropriated cooking vessel.
Tough shit He’s an experienced poster and gourmet chef who has an arsenal of back-up advisers.

I’m no ham man. The hassle is never worth it and I’d rather juice the turkey.
I bought turkey gravy for a Dickey diver in M&S today and am expecting great things. Second bottle of green spot yet to be touched. A final trip to the Guinness Christmas tree that is the Straw Hall tmrw night will settle all quandaries.
I’d rather no turkey than no ham. The ham is Christmas for me. Sawing at the ham on Christmas Eve while a little tipsy is my favourite part of the whole thing

Rock up to the butcher and blame the wife.

If it was an out and out butcher I would, but the only local butcher now is the meat counter in the supermarket
You’re a real life shrinking violet?
