What is Canned Ham?
Canned ham is pork which has been cured, pressed into a can, and steam cooked. The result is a very stable, albeit somewhat bland, food product. Unlike conventional ham, canned ham will keep in less than ideal conditions, and since it tends to be made from cheap ingredients, it is a cheap source of protein. One of the most famous forms of canned ham is SPAM®, a product which is not technically ham since it integrates several different cuts of meat.
