Ham is really
quite interesting and comes in
many varieties. Here I am in West Ham, in London. There are quite a few Hams around there, which is not that surprising considering its meaning - simply "village" (
hamlet is still used in English today (OK, not often) as is the German
heim) - but I ended up selecting
West Ham for convenience.
There's a little grocery shop built into West Ham station, behind me in the photo and I took a long look at their deli meat (for visual impact) before selecting this surprisingly good ham sandwich (for actual eating pleasure). It wasn't even that expensive. I'm glad I did.
Who hasn't heard of a
ham actor,
ham radio or
ham fisted?
