So, if you already have the best Chipped Ham BBQ recipe of all time, you may want to try this absolute garbage pile of over-processed comfort food.
I posted it on a few spots, but it garnered the most attention in a private food group. It also got me Zucked by Meta AI bots for calling it “ωнιтє тяαѕн ηα¢нσѕ.”
I also posted it on Threads but haven’t got the widget to embed that here, yet. Hopefully it just becomes a feature soon. Maybe BlueSky too?
This is how we had chipped ham BBQ when I was growing up…
It was put in a pot on the stove & just heated until it was ready. It has to be Heinz, it has to be Coke. (No Pepsi, RC Cola, or Faygo.)
None of the pre-made sauce either.
It needs to go on a nice roll, like Cellone’s. I never added cheese as a kid, but I like it with a nice Swiss or Brick cheese these days.
I’ve done a large amount of this in a crock pot… several pounds of meat, then eye the ketchup & Coke.
Pittsburgh Style Chipped Ham BBQ
So, I saw a tweet this morning that grabbed my attention:

I’m always fascinated by Pittsburghese or Yinzer-Speak, so of course I had to check out this article: Expert says fewer folks use Pittsbughese? Git aht!
I always felt like I was saying “younz” more than “yinz”, but then again, I grew up in the ‘burbs, not the city proper.
I know I’ve heard that it was a contraction of Scottish/Irish origin… a merging of “You ones” (…or “you’uns” neither of which is exactly proper). I think when I was little “Younz” just seemed like a better differentiation between “You” plural, and “You” singular. With “you’unz” there was no confusion!
