Cover me---I'm going in. Sandwich made with 6-day old deli ham.

I'm impressed Paul was on the case 3 minutes after I called it!

[space-time]

what kind of ham, how was it packed, how was it stored?

I have told washing old food down with a strong alcohol beverage would do it :biggrin:

IF it's cured ham, and IF it's been refrigerated properly for those 6 days... no problem.

Remember, Ham was originally cured to keep it edible for MONTHS without refrigeration!

Buncha food wussies... that's what we got here...

That's assuming that deckeda has traditionaly cured ham. That stuff we buy at the store these days isn't the "real" stuff our grandparents grew up on. The traditional stuff you could store in a cool dry place unrefrigerated for months. It has a VERY low moisture content.

At least it wasn't Deli TURKEY. That stuff is ready to go by the next day in most cases.

It's always wise to ask them at the deli what the date is on the package they are cutting from.
You'd be amazed at how close the dates are on their sealed meats - before they even open them
and start slicing!

Amazed or sickened...

I won't even by sliced turkey that isn't going to be gone within 12 hours or so of arriving home.

Are you still alive?
You haven't posted in several hours.
We are concerned.
