Spicy devil’s jam made from ham, celery, spring onions and pickled jalapeños.
Do any of you follow Mad Men? I occasionally watch an episode, more intrigued by the outfits and decor than anything else. (Wait, I recognize that tapestry! My mom used to wear dresses like this! My dad wore those skinny ties!) So delightfully retro. Like deviled ham.
I can well imagine one of those ’60s parties being served canapés with deviled ham. Back when I was a kid, I probably would have found a ham sandwich along with carrot sticks and a thermos packed in my Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea metal lunch box.
