When you think about this as the OP puts it ... eating ham is an insult.
I never thought about it that way.
as for everything else ... my views are often considered odd!

(82,383 posts)15. I was wondering why
In the United States, ham is a traditional Easter food. In the early days, meat was slaughtered in the fall. There was no refrigeration, and the fresh pork that wasn't consumed during the winter months before Lent was cured for spring. The curing process took a long time, and the first hams were ready around the time Easter rolled around. Thus, ham was a natural choice for the celebratory Easter dinner.
