Love of ham

Did you know …

That of all the countries in the world, it's the country of America that eats the most ham? It's true.

Scientists postulate that this is because Americans simply love ham. Anecdotally, of course, this is well known; we're all familiar with the olde American nursery rhyme,

"Ham on my teeth
Ham on my tongue.
Ham in my belly,
Isn't it fun?

Ham for the lord
And ham for the child.
Ham in the house
And ham in the wild.

Flesh oh so tender
A bite most divine.
Bathe us, sweet Jesus,
In the blood of the swine."

They had fun back then, didn't they?
