I don't have the hang of this bb yet, but I wanted to be the first to post the bible joke about this story being the first example of "devilled ham" which is a canned meat product we have in the States made by Underwood. I ate it as a kid and tried it/hated it as an adult. (Hah! the spell check mentioned "underworld" as an exchange for the company name "Underwood.")

byrnzcampbell's rush to post "deviled ham" as the culmination of the Gadarene demons and pigs, makes me rush to register to this bb so that I can respond "Ouch!" And add a "Thank You" for providing the link to humor and a childhood memory.

Welcome to you, lindajeane. I too recall having Underworld (ha!) Deviled Ham sandwiches when I was a kid; it seems to have been reserved for long car trips. We'd find a place with picnic tables, and my mom would get out a loaf of bread and a couple cans of this--didn't they make some kind of chicken, too?--because of no need for refrigeration. I've not tried it as an adult, and, given the above reaction, don't think I will!

And the can had a little picture of a red devil holding a pitchfork, remember?

My mom used to mix it with mayonnaise and pickle relish.
I liked those sandwiches better than those spread right
out of the can.
