Pre-sliced

[mike11111]

Bought some ham off-cuts at B & M bargains, very cheap and tasty. However I have just read the label which states: "Honey Roast pre-sliced Ham". It is the "pre-sliced" which is bugging me. What is the difference between sliced ham and "pre-sliced" ham?

arrives in the shop sliced?

[mike11111]

So why not just say sliced? It's as bad as "pre-ordered".

Will they be 'pan fried' with eggs for brekkie?

[Laelia]

'Pre' as in sliced before it became off cuts?

[mike11111]

Nice one Sandy, I had forgotten about that. Next time I go out for brekkie I shall make a point of asking for my fried eggs to be "non- pan fried".

Laelia's 'avin' a larf! How can something be sliced before it becomes an off-cut?

[Laelia]

LOL!! I've just woke up!
I'm really laughing here ;0)

Off cuts off the slices ?.

[Laelia]

You had a little think there didn't you though ;0?

[Laelia]
