ham sandwich

Pink meat lunch

A ham sandwich is sliced ham between two pieces of bread, one of the most basic and recognizable sandwiches.

The phrase sometimes appears in legal contexts referring to the ease of obtaining a grand jury indictment: A prosecutor could get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich.

In British rhyming slang, it means language: I don't understand your ham sandwich.
