devilled ham
Fiery pork paste
Devilled ham is a spread made from finely ground ham seasoned with hot spices—typically mustard, cayenne, or paprika.
The "devilled" refers to the spicy preparation.
It comes in small cans and gets spread on crackers or sandwiches: a devilled ham sandwich on white bread.
The commercial version has been a pantry staple since the late 1800s.
