This has been bugging me for a while. Someone introduces a vegetarian to someone else (a mother I think), the mother say’s something like “oh dear, can she eat wafer thin ham?”
And as per bloody typical sod, it came to me the moment I posted.
It’s from the Royle Family. Nan says it about the fat girl who’s announced she’s going on a diet.
“going on a diet” that can’t be right.
It’s definately a reply to vegetarianism, not dieting. It wouldn’t be funny otherwise.
Don’t worry, I’m soon to be murdered by hamsters.
Said charmingly but pointlessly by Norma, the grandmother (Liz Smith) of Emma, in her hearing.
Emma, Ant’ny’s girlfriend, is a vegetarian - you were right.
Cheryl, the girl from next door is the one constantly on a diet, or about to start one tomorrow, but who eats anything offered.
I can’t help thinking that Norma was slighlty influenced by the Monty Python film, the menaing of life, where Mr Creosote is tempted by a wafer thin slice of - ham, is it? The results are memorable.

Mr Creosote exploded because of a wafer thin mint.
Ham flavoured, probably.

Damn, I thought this was going to be a thread about food in Pittsburgh. (“chip-chop” ham)
