While you can get this meat on its own, it is most commonly served with barbecue sauce in between a bun (go for Isaly's spicy BBQ sauce if you can). This shaved meat is created by blending ham chunks, trimmings, and other seasonings, molding it into a loaf and shaving into a very thin cut of meat with a distinctive flavor.
