Is spiral ham ok to eat? : )

NantucketSunset

I'm at work and the cafeteria has spiral ham today and I can't stop thinking about it. Is it ok to eat? I am thinking of the deli meat issue - is this the same? Sory - I know this is probably a really dumb question - so thanks in advance for answering!

Thank you for asking this. I was going to have ham for Christmas dinner but wasn't sure if it was ok.

Damn!  Now I want spiral ham! 

I guess I know what we're having for dinner!

My doc explained the lunch meat thing like this -

You should avoid eating cold/room temp deli meats from places where it has been sitting out on the counter all day because it can be "contaminated" with Listeria. 

Warming it up (so, like toasting your sub) to at least 165 degrees F kills the bacteria.

 Things like your Thanksgiving turkey, Christmas ham, etc, should be fine. But if you're concerned, just pop it in the microwave first.

So funny!  I was just downstairs heating up my lunch and some one was heating up some ham.  It smelled soooooo good!  So I decided that I will make scalloped potatoes and ham for dinner tomorrow!  I'm excited!

I made a ham on Monday for our Girls Night Christmas dinner and it was sooo good!
