Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Community Guidelines

By following these rules, we can maintain a diverse and informative community. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to the moderators. Thank you for contributing responsibly!

Here's a restaurant in Virginia that specializes in that...

http://www.thecamsham.com/

I also mention in another comment that this is likely based on a list by the Food Network.

This is not country ham.

This is country ham:

Country ham is salted ham. Always, 100%, like pre-refrigeration levels of salt, to the point that it's shelf-stable.

Also the source is is in the guide, which I didn't see until now. Looks like AI generated blogspam to me. Virginia is known for country ham, but no way has anyone put it on bread that wasn't a buttermilk biscuit alongside mayo and called it a sandwich.

I'm not at all disagreeing that Cam's Ham isn't serving Country Ham. I was just hoping to provide a little context to the graphic using the cited sources and some additional information.

It's a graphic that someone's probably put a fair bit of effort into, not spam. This is spam:

The reference the graphic cites is blogspam, the infographic is a weird ad for TitleMax that someone did presumably put time into. Unfortunately, it is good effort put towards bad information.

The reference in question, from the bottom of the image: https://www.ezcater.com/lunchrush/office/america-50-iconic-sandwiches/

One of the sandwiches is a bratwurst on a hot dog bun. It has the feel of an AI hallucination.

Ok, going through that source, I can see how some of that must be an AI hallucination. "Fluffernutter" can't actually be a thing, can it?

[–] ggppjj@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Fluffernutrer is real and delicious, and if you haven't had the chance to try it, please do.
