Does anyone else feel physically sick at this advert?  I mean, seriously, if you just get in from a hard day at work I think the 'meal' I would like to eat least in the world would be turkey ham on a jacket potato.  Or turkey ham for breakfast?  I'd rather go without ta.  While I think about it, is turkey ham a mixture of turkey and pork?  Hence the 'ham' part of the name.  If not, why is it called turkey ham?

Its called ham because it is cured like ham. In America you used to be able (maybe still can) get turkey bacon, not the horrid stuff that you get here, it was much nicer and crisped up well, also very low fat... I agree with your point about going without as an option though, I'd prefer the spud naked!
hi Natalie  I agree I picked some up by mistake in the supermarket thinking it was ordinary ham it was disgusting .Like you the adverts turn my stomach over. 
What is even worse is the ad where it is put in a healthy stir fry it looks anaemic and replusive - bootiful it ain't Mr Matthews!
Natalie - I agree with you... synthetic, tasteless  pre-packed and just downright nasty.  I feel the same way about those Uncle Bens sauces ads - they look too jewel-bright and unnaturally overprocessed - not a bit appetising - yeuch!!!
Aye this advert make both me and my gf gag, yes, *actually* gag.� It is VILE
Spooky, the ad came on while I was reading the answers!

Havn't eaten anything from Benard Matthews in years.

Don't like anything of his. It all seems so over prossessed.

woofgang, when you say "cured like ham", I take it you mean "curing" in the modern, chemical way? (ie not smoked, air dried or brine bathed, but just pup it full of water and chemicals.)
I think its acturally made for people who doesnt eat pork and can have an alternative. Turkey ham is 100% turkey, no pork.
yes, I wasn't talking about traditional methods, which btw also use chemicals!!
I really hate this advert.  I too gip and gag when I see it, especially the one where they make a curry or stir fry or whatever it is.
