Hi there. Not much to say about me. I'm delicious. If you take ham and grind it up and pack it into a loaf with a brown sugar glaze you can make me or my family members. I go good with lotsa stuff, but mostly cheese and potatoes. If you throw me at things I can hurt them for you, I'm generally very hot. Sometimes there are mini-me's wrapped in foil that parents will make for children and give out on Halloween. But this is quite rare. I like to feed people.
You can make me like this!
