Edit: To the person who downvoted me: I challenge you to find a single recipe, a single real photo, a single COMMENT from ANYONE in the world who has even thought about putting country ham, what is essentially salt that comes in the shape of a slice of ham, bare on some bread with mayonnaise as a sandwich, let alone the sandwich of Virginia.
I live in rural Virginia, I was born in urban Virginia, and I feel firm that I can speak for all of Virginia and say this guide is wrong and bad.
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.
This guide is awful and bad.
Country ham and mayo??? What the genuine fuck?

The only source I’ve been able to find for this is TitleMax, a title loan company. https://www.titlemax.com/discovery-center/the-united-states-of-sandwiches/
This is spam.
Here’s a restaurant in Virginia that specializes in that…

I also mention in another comment that this is likely based on a list by the Food Network.
This is not country ham.

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