Honey. My mama referred to it as “ham salad.’

Ham salad is what my mama and your mama made. Deviled ham comes in a can.

Ditto that, though I reserve the whole cornichons as an accompaniment instead of chopping and mixing in  

 

I've never tried this but i like it!

Also a pinch of wasabi fan. Just perks them up a bit!

I guess I'm a bit late to the game, but some time ago @kayb recommended this recipe for deviled ham.  It's from The Shack - a well-regarded restaurant in Staunton VA.  It is a wonderful recipe that I've served for dinner parties and church pot lucks and, if you can get people to taste it (if you didn't grow up with good ham salad, you tend to be suspicious), they love it.

well, did a second dinner on the left-over ham hock & beans - and now there's not really enough meat for anything other than a 1/2 sandwich . . .

 

@Kim - that does look to be a tasty recipe - curious add with the cream cheese . . .

RE: the cream cheese.  My theory is that ham salad can get a bit gelatinous and the cream cheese combats that.  It's not enough to interfere with the hamminess.  It just smooths things out a bit.
