Advantages: Low in fat

Disadvantages: Lots of water at the bottom of the container

I'm pretty boring when it comes to lunches and tend to have a ham sandwich everyday. It comes in two sizes and these are 125g for 54p and 400g for £1.65. The ham is described as 'wafer thin' and it recommends that you eat it within two days of opening.

On opening the ham its plain to see that this is far from the stuff that you buy on any deli. It's square in shape but the edges have been rounded off and it doesn't have any resounding smell radiating from it.

The ham is slimy to touch but because it's so thin there isn't any 'rubbery' effect to it which is a bonus because when I first bought it, that's what I expected.

The ham has a nice taste to and you don't end up with a hard bit of gristle as you chomp. The flavour isn't as strong as it could be and I'm guessing that's because it's made up of 20% water.

I don't really like eating this ham on it's own but I do if I'm a bit peckish because it's low in fat. I prefer it in a sandwich with some pickle and I tend to add it to salads or the boys pasta dishes.

The one thing I don't like about the ham is the fact that you end up with a pool of water at the bottom of the container. It's a little off putting but nothing major.

This is a good basic product which does the job but if you're expecting luxury then don't bother with it.

Per 100g of ham you will be consuming 105 calories, 4g of fat and 0.9g of sugar.
