[donna]

This recipe for a ham sandwich from "Old Time Recipes To Enjoy". It is section in 'The Kentucky Explorer" magazine which highlights different recipes from over 100 years ago.

Sounds like one to try. From: "The Kentucky Explorer" February, 2018.

Hmm...this is interesting...so you boil vinegar and stir in the egg mixture? Would the vinegar curdle the egg? Or is this similar to the concept of poaching an egg?

 

[donna]

I think be like poaching an egg. What do others think?

In honor of the Earl of Sandwich, bumping this thread. This is old fashioned sandwich to make.

I love ham. I would try this one, for the ham's sake at least. It could be very good.

Donna. Thanks for sharing this rather interesting recipe for ham leftovers. This recipe sounds exactly like mother's recipe for ham spread. She would cook on the stovetop the dressing for the grated ham. Unfortunately I do not like to eat ham. I never ate mother's ham spread. David.

Is this deviled ham, or a ham spread? I'm willing to give it a try! Boiling vinegar might mean a mask, though...

 

[donna]

I guess could be either, But more of a spread to me.

Yeah, this reminds me of deviled ham! Nanny would fix it and serve it on crackers sometimes but mostly we did eat it in a sandwich. White bread and extra mayo!

I want to try this! I love deviled ham - tried to get in my Way-back Machine and picked up some of the canned stuff with the little devil on the outside? Memories! Well...either my taste buds have aged poorly, or they changed the recipe!

Nanny would sometimes mix the mayonnaise in with the deviled ham. That made it fancy!
I'd like to see how this recipe turns out! I'm not sure if I'm daring enough to try it though!
Wonder what kind of ham to buy?
Lunchmeat, whole, spiral sliced, breakfast, the one that comes in that tin with the key????

Spam has a spread. To my taste...it's better than the little devil's one. Underwood, that's the name! But, still mystery meat... I'd go for the really good ham, maybe the spiral cut, for Donna's recipe. The meat makes a real difference in any recipe!

I think I'll stick with ham and swiss on rye

 

[Larryh86GT]

Seems easier to put some slices of ham between bread. Or spam. (fried)

 

[donna]

Love deviled ham. Got to get some.

Underwood Company been around since 1822. Soldiers ate their deviled ham. Just a little trivia for all.

I'd guess it made it cheaper, too, but I suppose that depends on where you got your ham and mayonnaise. Around here it'd be a way to stretch the priciest ingredient, anyhow. I like deviled ham with sour cream and pickle relish, myself.

Spiral cut on the bone is what we get; most spiral cut have a bone, but there are a few that don't, and the bone makes a surprising (and positive) difference, IMHO. A number of blind taste tests, the bone had more of a positive impact on flavor than the amount of water added, which surprised me, but our taste buds seem to agree (that, or we're easily influenced). Some bone-in hams are better than others, but all we've tried have been superior to ham without the bone.

We eat a lot of meat sandwich spreads in the summer (don't heat up the kitchen since I cook up the meat in the crock pot); have to give this one a try!
