Gammon - salted raw pork cut into steaks, then cooked.
Ham - cooked, either boiled or roasted, no salt usually.
Bacon - thinner cuts of gammon, nice with eggs or cheese

Pork - Pig flesh
Bacon - Cured pig flesh from the loin
Gammon - Cured pig flesh from the leg
Ham - Cooked cured pig flesh, usually from the leg
I was a butcher in a former life 1986 - 1993

Sarah's a veggie, but she allows me to eat any meat I choose.

If you take a piece of gammon, baste it in honey and slow roast it you will have a piece of honey-roast ham.
