    Here’s a restaurant in Virginia that specializes in that…

    http://www.thecamsham.com/

    I also mention in another comment that this is likely based on a list by the Food Network.

      This is not country ham.

      This is country ham:

      Country ham is salted ham. Always, 100%, like pre-refrigeration levels of salt, to the point that it’s shelf-stable.

      Also the source is is in the guide, which I didn’t see until now. Looks like AI generated blogspam to me. Virginia is known for country ham, but no way has anyone put it on bread that wasn’t a buttermilk biscuit alongside mayo and called it a sandwich.

        I’m not at all disagreeing that Cam’s Ham isn’t serving Country Ham. I was just hoping to provide a little context to the graphic using the cited sources and some additional information.

        It’s a graphic that someone’s probably put a fair bit of effort into, not spam. This is spam:

          The reference the graphic cites is blogspam, the infographic is a weird ad for TitleMax that someone did presumably put time into. Unfortunately, it is good effort put towards bad information.

          The reference in question, from the bottom of the image: https://www.ezcater.com/lunchrush/office/america-50-iconic-sandwiches/

          One of the sandwiches is a bratwurst on a hot dog bun. It has the feel of an AI hallucination.

            Ok, going through that source, I can see how some of that must be an AI hallucination. “Fluffernutter” can’t actually be a thing, can it?

              Fluffernutrer is real and delicious, and if you haven’t had the chance to try it, please do.
