Chipped chopped ham

Chipped chopped ham is a processed luncheon meat made from ground ham chunks, trimmings, and seasonings formed into loaves. The loaves are shaved against a commercial meat slicer blade, producing a thin product with a distinct texture and flavor. In western Pennsylvania, northern West Virginia, and eastern Ohio, this slicing is called "Pittsburgh style." The meat is sometimes mixed and heated with barbecue sauce for sandwiches, commonly served in the Pittsburgh region and popularized by the Isaly's chain.
