This guide is awful and bad.
Country ham and mayo??? What the genuine fuck?
Edit: To the person who downvoted me: I challenge you to find a single recipe, a single real photo, a single COMMENT from ANYONE in the world who has even thought about putting country ham, what is essentially salt that comes in the shape of a slice of ham, bare on some bread with mayonnaise as a sandwich, let alone the sandwich of Virginia.
I live in rural Virginia, I was born in urban Virginia, and I feel firm that I can speak for all of Virginia and say this guide is wrong and bad.
The only source I've been able to find for this is TitleMax, a title loan company. https://www.titlemax.com/discovery-center/the-united-states-of-sandwiches/
This is spam.
Here's a restaurant in Virginia that specializes in that...
I also mention in another comment that this is likely based on a list by the Food Network.
This is not country ham.
This is country ham:
Country ham is salted ham. Always, 100%, like pre-refrigeration levels of salt, to the point that it's shelf-stable.
Also the source is is in the guide, which I didn't see until now. Looks like AI generated blogspam to me. Virginia is known for country ham, but no way has anyone put it on bread that wasn't a buttermilk biscuit alongside mayo and called it a sandwich.
I'm not at all disagreeing that Cam's Ham isn't serving Country Ham. I was just hoping to provide a little context to the graphic using the cited sources and some additional information.
It's a graphic that someone's probably put a fair bit of effort into, not spam. This is spam:
The reference the graphic cites is blogspam, the infographic is a weird ad for TitleMax that someone did presumably put time into. Unfortunately, it is good effort put towards bad information.
The reference in question, from the bottom of the image: https://www.ezcater.com/lunchrush/office/america-50-iconic-sandwiches/
One of the sandwiches is a bratwurst on a hot dog bun. It has the feel of an AI hallucination.
Ok, going through that source, I can see how some of that must be an AI hallucination. "Fluffernutter" can't actually be a thing, can it?
Fluffernutrer is real and delicious, and if you haven't had the chance to try it, please do.
