Better than real ham? I thick of it as a relic from the old days when you
had to go 20 miles by horse drawn buggy for the monthly shopping trip and
canned meats would get you through to the next shopping trip :-) I can't
say I have been impressed enough with it to actually look forward to
sitting down to a meal of it. But then, I am not a big fan of ham. I
don't particularly dislike it. I have ham sandwiches once in a while and I
love ham and pickle salad, but in the 34 years I have been married I have
bought maybe 4 or 5 ham steaks to fry for breakfast and I honestly can't
remember ever buying on or cooking one. But I may buy a can and keep on
hand in case of emergency, and that could include a hankering for ham and
pickle sandwiches.
