A few weeks back I wrote about Farmland Spiral Ham Pieces and Slices in my Neat Stuff column. I’d like a mulligan on that one. It’s not such neat stuff after all.
Last week I went to Wal-Mart specifically to buy a package of Spiral Ham Pieces and Slices. The first pack I bought – basically trimmings from a delicious spiral ham – had lots of nice cuts of meat and very little waste. The second pack had mostly fat, gristle and skin. Don’t waste your money.
I don’t know how two packages of the same stuff could be so different. Maybe one of the meat-cutters at Farmland was having a bad hair day and said, “I’ll teach management about that puny raise. Wait till the dumb ass who buys this opens it. Har, har, har!”
Well. The meat-cutter got his wish. This dumb ass will never buy that product again. You shouldn’t, either. Too bad. That first pack sure was a bargain.
