it looks very thin for a Ham .

 

I am guessing it is sliced and is just a partial piece of a larger ham.  The slices look rather large to me, but the picture perspective is a bit hard to judge.

It's not sliced, which will be interesting as I (obviously) don't own a commercial meat slicer, so getting it cut nice and thin might be a challenge

Ha, yes. My favourite author. I was lucky enough to meet him at primary school when he was part of a govt project to help promote reading for kids (I didn't need any encouragement, my face was buried in a book most of the time). We chatted for a couple of minutes and he told me "make sure you keep your eyes and your mind as wide as they are now". Wonderful man.

Yes, definitely among the "gone too soon" contingent.
