My Problem With Ham.

So I was just reading that a friend of mine was enjoying a ham and brie sandwich. Sounds tasty, right? I certainly wouldn't mind one, but then again, if I was given the choice of any sandwich, it'd be way far down my list. Here's why

:O

But what about real ham, that you cut off a bone? And fry!

Yeah that's fine. Jambon, if you will. I'm down.

That's what I think of when I think of ham, and here you are all anti-ham and everything, and I wanted to fry some up right now.

I agree.

My problem with ham is that people assume that if you like the kind that's cold and thinly sliced and placed in sandwiches then you automatically also like the kind that is warm and thickly sliced and eaten with a fork when the two things are completely different.

That's understandable. After the war all there was to eat was barley and rhubarb, and my father still can't even stand the mention of them without grimacing and recounting his experience.

As a Canadian, most of the bacon we consume is the kind you consume... I think I came across the peameal Canadian bacon stuff twice and for all intents and purposes it was in the Greater Toronto Area both time.

And lunchmeat ham is to real 'jambon' ham as pastrami is to Roast beef... I think everybody grows out of the lunchmeat phase... If there's any justice in the world.
