\"90<\/a> Ham barbecue is most definitely a Western PA thing. It’s pretty simple combo, barbecue sauce and some chipped ham.<\/p>\n

That would be “shaved” ham for those outside of Western PA.<\/p>\n

Buying chipped ham in the Pittsburgh area is no big deal. Deli workers fully expect that order to come in and don’t bat an eye.<\/p>\n

There are automatic slicers that the deli workers can program and then move on taking other orders. \u00a0It takes a long time to get a pound of chipped ham.<\/p>\n

Since I love chipped ham, I still order it even though I don’t live in Western PA any longer. I have to say “shaved” and oh do I get the stink eye from the deli workers when I do. \u00a0I’ll gladly risk it to get some delicious chipped ham though. Stink eye be damn.<\/p>\n

Ham barbecue was a staple growing up and I admit that I wasn’t that big of a fan. \u00a0I love chipped ham and I love barbecue sauce but for some reason I did not find the two enjoyable.<\/p>\n

It wasn’t until I started making my own version did I truly start to enjoy the ham barbecue experience. \u00a0Since I was revisiting some childhood sandwiches<\/a> recently, I decided to make some ham barbecue making the barbecue sauce using some local beer.<\/a><\/p>\n
