A bit pricey, but good if you're in a pinchFeb 18, 2009
By T. A. Anderson
The Hormel Ham salad kit is just like all the other lunch "kits" out there. It includes a "mixing cup", spoon, sweet relish, light mayo, crackers and of course ham.
Upon first opening the can of ham, I was a little disappointed to see that the meat had the consistency of SPAM, but as I chopped it up in the cup, the ham texture we're all familiar with became apparent and the stand-alone taste and texture were actually better than I expected. But even with that, adding the relish and the light mayo didn't add too much to the "salad". It was a tasty snack, but nothing to go wow over. For those of us from the old school days of Vienna sausage and canned ham spreads, though, this is a major upgrade.
The crackers were the biggest surprise of all as they weren't your typical butter Ritz-type crackers, but delicious, seasoned crackers that added to the overall taste of the salad.
Positives:
Ham has a good flavor and texture
Kit is convenient and lightweight
Makes a good snack
Negatives:
A bit pricey coming from Amazon. At the time I purchased this with "Prime" shipping, the cost was still around $2.25 per unit. Considering you can get a decent burger for the same price, the only saving grace with this product is it's handy if you can't make a run for the drive-thru.
Small portion. This kit should really be called a "snack kit". You'll definitely want to offset it with fruit or a cup of soup, which only increase the overall price of your lunch. Not very economical if you're trying to pinch pennies by not going out to lunch.
The spoon is tiny, too tiny to really chop up all that ham goodness, leaving the chunks too big for a well-blended salad. So if you can grab some standard size plasticware, do so before sitting down to lunch.
Breakroom factor. If you're purchasing this because your co-workers are complaining about the smell of your tuna lunch-kit, this really isn't all that much better as the ham has a pretty strong scent that may be unpleasant for some. It wasn't for me.
Overall
Would I purchase it again? Sure. I love ham and it helps with the ham cravings I occasionally get between Easter and Thanksgiving.
