>>17008 That first one looks like sliced meat to me, lad. The one you have there looks like some sort of reformed meat, added water, Tesco Basics, poverty ham.
YES! YES! I hate that crap. I have drag half a pack's worth of salami out each time I want a sandwich, then sort of force it back in, all because someone put the slicer machine on backwards.
Even when you take into account that there is a lot of water in the poverty ham, it's still about a third of the price. Is it really worth it? They taste pretty much the same, and are identical in terms of the preservatives that have been added.
Part of the extra cost is for the larger packaging, most of which is just empty space.
>>17016 Anything really - you can thinly slice it and whack it into a sandwhich. Cube it and fry it. Eat it cold with some pickles. Unlock the magic lads.
>>17019 >They're not going to be made from the same cuts of pork though are they?
You realise this is Tesco you're talking about here? It literally comes off the same production lines. Of course they'll be made from the same mechanically recovered and processed meat. The expensive one will have 25% more meat for thrice the price.

The breaded ones tend to be sliced ham as opposed to reformed ham.
(I don't remember ever seeing reformed ham sliced with breaded corners but I dare say it exists. Probably Polish.)
Depends on the washing. Consider yourself, given the choice would you rather eat a rinsed arse or a rinsed elbow, of a whatever for the sake of argument? Irradiated or acid washed arse or elbow? Probably no difference in the latter, but in the former I would certainly have a preference.
Anecdotally I was unfortunately unlucky enough to eat a pack of <local shop> basic ham. One of the pieces on my butty looked like an actual arse, all puckered with a hole in the middle. I was gagging for the rest of the day.
