In researching my book, Dinner with Churchill, I too was flummoxed by this ham name and so left it out of the book. Cita Stelzer Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

Searches on Google only produce references to radio hams : surely he must have been referring to the food product in those days of severe rationing in the UK ? What sort of ham was / is Meisner ham, if anybody knows ? Thank you all in advance for any enlightenment.
