Honey baked ham gave it to me good.

CAGiversary!
Hello, fellow readers of text. Today was a sad day in the world of sandwiches. There has been a corporate wide price raise of my favorite place for a sandwich, the Honey baked ham cafe. Not only did they raise their price, but they shrunk the portion! Bah! So, I can come in and get a micro sandwich and a drink for 8.50? Woot, count me in. Not! I have no where else to go and complain, so I thought I would drop in here. I am going to take my business elsewhere. Tell me your story of your favorite food place and why you don't go there anymore. Did they also raise their prices? Maybe they started to serve sub-standard food? Let me know! I want us to hold hands and rejoice in our disappointment. I realize that might have sounded a tad gay. Take care :)

i'm pretty sure this statement buys you a direct ticket to hell. There's not many things better than some honey baked ham.
 
A. I thought this thread was about how ham gave you the squirts.

B. I had no idea Honey Baked Ham had fast food.

C. Ham rocks!

Only when compared to the superior maple bacon. Honey baked ham is a close second though.
 
Ham = delicious

Also a few years back my favorite local burger joint, Andy's, became a chain. When this happened, the "Andy Size" burger, which took up a whole french fry basket by itself,served with fries/onion rings and a drink/soda/pop cost $4. They shrunk burger back down to their regular size burger, and served it in the same basket as the fries, so less fries as well, still get a drink, and it now costs $5.

I feel your pain man.... I feel your pain.

Haha, I haven't heard anyone use this since Wayne's World was in theatres.

Fixed.
 
[quote name='CouRageouS']The thread title is misleading as the OP doesn't not contain any intercourse involved with a honey baked ham.[/quote]

:applause:
 
I agree with Davo.

Let this be a lesson to you, kids: supply-side economics policies fuck *everything* up in the long run. Portions are going to get smaller, quality is going to drop across the board, and businesses will still go under over the next 1-2 years. That's across the board; yes, your sad non-coitus ham tale is unfortunate, but they are probably either forced to up the price and drop the size, or go out of business. Which, if you're savvy, will be a self-fulfilling prophecy - since you shouldn't support businesses that behave like that.

Start hoarding now.
 
I coke or pepsi ever went under, i'd drive toe very store in the area and buy their stock. Won't happen, just saying, gotta have my fix.
 
i don't like the word ham. the food item known as ham, that guy who is such a ham, the guy in the bible named Ham, a HAM radio or even the hams i'm sitting on.

anyone else? i can't be alone here 8-[

Turkey is called turkey. Chicken is called chicken. Ham should be called what it is: pig or boar.

I remember when McDonald's, BK and Wendy's all had kids meals for $1.99. I was at BK last week and it was $3.59 for a kids hamburger meal! Crazy especially when you can order the same items off the value menu without the toy for $3.00.
 
Anyways...

Yeah op, i used to go to the honey baked ham store to get sandwhiches. At the time with the side items and a drink it was an OK value, not great. I thought it was pricey at the time and now hearing that it is going up even more, yikes.

How about places I have started going recently; anything with Taco Tuesday in the window usually fits the bill. Trying to find the best deal to taste ratio... its actually hard to find both..

rip honey baked ham goodness.
 
[quote name='SkeletonBrute']Ham = delicious[/QUOTE]

Agreed!!

Also it might suck, but smaller portions probably aren't a bad thing for most people. Sucks getting charged more for less though.

Great thread title.

I walked in there once and the prices were outrageous. Sorry I'll just be going to this local deli place with great service (or if I really want to cheap-out, Subway)

And yet, cows give us hamburgers. The world -- it's crazy.

Arbys recently did this - Subs are now ~$8.00 w/ drink and fries and the sub looks like 2 White Castle burgers side by side.
 
[quote name='GuilewasNK']Honey baked ham is nasty IMO. Same as with maple sausage or maple bacon or McGriddles. I don't like sweet, sugary meats.[/quote]

Honey baked ham is totally different.

The taste is more subtle, the meat is of a higher quality (IE a leg instead of ground-up lips and assholes) and if the ham is juicy and a little greasy it just works.
 
Ham you tried talking to the manager about your conerns? See if you two can't ham-mer something out together? He might think you're just being a swiner, or you might just boar him from his important bacon duties, but if won't hurt to glaze over the topic.
 
[quote name='Chase']Turkey is called turkey. Chicken is called chicken. Ham should be called what it is: pig or boar.[/QUOTE]

Cow is beef
Lamb is mutton
Deer is venison

That's just how it works. For some reason, when we're eating mammals, we call it something else.

I really want a honey-baked ham now.
 
Thats interesting. I never noticed the differential naming conventions being applied to eating mammals only.

I think Mutton is a particular subset though, I've definitely heard Lamb referred to as Lamb.
 
[quote name='Chase']Turkey is called turkey. Chicken is called chicken. Ham should be called what it is: pig or boar.[/QUOTE]

Cows and bulls are called beef.
 
Ham is also the location/cut of the pig. We don't complain that "pork tenderloin" isn't labeled "PIG, $4/lb" on the package, do we?
 
I think the discrepancy is due to the various cuts of the larger domesticated animals being very different.

While there are certainly different cuts when you are dividing a chicken, its all kinda same-y.
 
HoneyBaked Ham has always been expensive but damn if there food isn't delicious.

And for all you non-ham eating mofo's:

Homer: Are you saying you're never going to eat any animal again? What about bacon?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Ham?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Pork chops?
Lisa: Dad, those all come from the same animal.
Homer: Heh heh heh. Ooh, yeah, right, Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal.
