Good price with stand (same as Asda last Christmas) and this adds a knife (though its adequacy remains to be seen).
IF you don't know what this thing is but are tempted - then buy a pre-pack of pre-sliced ham NOW (before the promo) so that
1/ you can see whether its something you like
AND
2/ you can see just how thin (near transparent) it needs to be sliced - otherwise you will be complaining it is like "old work boots". You need a really really sharp knife, and to use it the right way! There are plenty of videos on YouTube to demonstrate how to carve the thing properly. Watch a few different ones (even with Spanish commentary) and you'll get the idea.

always been tempted to pick one of these up, anyone know how long it keeps (another thread mentions wrapping it in clingfilm) and if you can shave off slices to freeze ?

I purchased one of these from Lidl 5 months ago and finished the last "Thin" slice in June
Just keep it at "room" temperature and carve thinly as required, only covering the recently cut exposed part of the joint with clingfilm - otherwise the next slice will be tough
This is the first offer from Lidl that includes the ESSENTIAL stand and knife and is £5 cheaper than any previous offers so if you want to try it out, now's a good time
The pre-packed/sliced Serrano ham is £1.86/100g in the "Taste of Iberia" Lidl promotion!

I know it is how it is supposed to be kept but the idea of eating meat that is stored at room temperature always freaks me out about. I don't understand how it doesn't make you ill?

freaks me out a bit, not about. I'm blaming my phone for that.

Well because it's cured, technique that's been used for thousands of years at this point to preserve meat for longer.

I had one of these and you can *not* store it at a normal 'room' temperature. Especially with the summer heat. It needs to be in a cool, ventilated room like a larder. On the side in your kitchen, or in the dining room is too hot. They start to sweat and then eventually grow mould on them. Normally you will get a small layer of white mould appearing, you can just cut this off the fresh meat and wipe it off any that grows on the fat. The best way I've found to store the meat is to take your first big cut of fat as sort of a lid that you can put back on the exposed meat after you've finished cutting. The fat touching the meat keeps it moist, you can then cover this with cingfilm.
