Ham that isn't Naice

[CoxsOrangePippin]

I have two packets of Not Particularly Nice ham in the fridge (you know the kind - slithery and sweet). I don't want to waste them but they aren't quite up to my fancypants standards for a ham
sandwich which I feel ought to be the food of the gods.

What's the best thing I can do with them? Pasta bake?

(In the meantime I'm off to Tesco for gammon to make some more delicious ham for cheaper than the slithery slices )

Pizza topping, omelette, slice and fry until crispy and stir through cheese sauce and use for macaroni cheese, wrap chicken in it and bake, chop up finely and add to a savoury Parmesan biscuit dough and make hammy biscuits (v good with a glass of white wine!) I chuck it in a salad to use up if I have it. I find it it's cooked it's not too bad!

Ooh! Fried in macaroni cheese and hammy biscuits both sound excellent. Thank you

Are yiu even allowed to discuss Ham that isn't Naice on MN?

My DS will only eat naice ham. He threw away the pack of not nice ham I ordered by mistake last week, because it would have been "tasteless and chewy" according to him. I have raised fussy expensive children, it worries me sometimes!

Anyone else finding it harder and harder to find naice ham? Most of the packets in supermarkets are formed ham. Even some of the Finest Range are formed. Is it only to be found on the deli these days?

Yes definitely. But that's just more scope for being terribly smug and making one's own I'm considering a batch in ginger ale as I feel it would be poncier than coke.

Ham in ginger ale is amazing. Just don't do what I did and use the cooking liquid for lentil soup. Bleurgh.
