Mmmm. Do you mean "chipped ham" bbq. I haven't had that in a while.
I guess I could make it myself, but my aunt always used to make it for
Memorial Day, 4th of July, or Labor Day picnics/dinners. She didn't
make it this year because now her daughter who lives at home has decided
she doesn't like it! Hmmpf! Throw her out, I say!

I guess I'm going to have to make it myself. I always used the bbq
aauce recipe from the Good Housekeeping Cookbook.
