The real question to ask is, does it contain any chemicals?
I only eat ham that is 100% composed of virtual particles.
Tachyonic ham is stored in the pork futures warehouse two streets over, ma’am.
Used to be I could get my neutrino chorizo at the corner store. Simpler times

Damn, that’s a dark one for him.
“Sold. Four marks.”
The crazy thing is, most ham that’s perfectly shaped isn’t using any kind of meat glue or enzyme (it’s basically only used on expensive cuts of meat), but just pressed together in that shape and naturally re-adheres during cooking.
“So essentially all boneless hams – which are restructured products that consist of meat pieces bound together – don’t include meat glue, but rather salt-soluble protein as a binding agent that is extracted from the meat surface during a process called massaging, or tumbling.”
She tumbled on my meat surface until she extracted my salt-soluble protein binding agent.

“naturally”
I don’t care what anyone says, bologna tastes delicious.
Edit: I looked it up and bologna is not as much of an unholy amalgamation as I thought. Still tastes delicious.

For when hot dogs are too gay
What about olive loaf?
Heck yes!
I mean … Yes please, olive loaf. Regardless of my desire to consume it, though, I’d like to know whether it’s unholy like bologna apparently is not.
Have you tried frying it in a pan? Fucking delicious tbh.
TIL in english pork cuts and pork sausage are both called ham
Can we not gaslight and invalidate people for asking for less cancer inducing food?
When people say ‘processed’ or ‘chemicals’ colloquially, they mean excessive nitrates and nitrites which are carcinogenic. But you already know that. You’re just being pedantic so you could kiss the ass of big ham.
It’s astounding how effective the marketing was to shrug off regulatory concerns on nitrates and nitrites into an overreaction by ‘ma’ams’ and other grocery shopping women. Just take any valid concern and pin it onto an already ridiculed demographic and voila, you’ve made it popular with the internet.
I mean, folks here might not know that. I didn’t realize that’s what was meant. Of course, someone selling ham should probably be aware of this being one possible meaning…
