Steamed Hams

Typical definition said by Skinner when he waited the lunch.

Principal Skinner: Superintendent, I hope you're ready for mouth-watering hamburgers.

Superintendant Chalmers: I thought we were having steamed clams.

Principal Skinner: Oh, no, I said, "steamed hams." That's what I call hamburgers.

Superintendant Chalmers: You call hamburgers steamed hams.

Principal Skinner: Yes, it's a regional dialect.

Superintendant Chalmers: Uh-huh. What region?

Principal Skinner: Uh, upstate New York.

Superintendant Chalmers: Really. Well, I'm from Utica and I never heard anyone use the phrase, "steamed hams."

Principal Skinner: Oh, not in Utica, no; it's an Albany expression.

Superintendant Chalmers: I see.

Superintendant Chalmers: You know, these hamburgers are quite similar to the ones they have at Krusty Burger.

Principal Skinner: Oh, no, patented Skinner Burgers. Old family recipe.

Superintendant Chalmers: For steamed hams.

Principal Skinner: Yes

Superintendant Chalmers: Yes, and you call them steamed hams despite the fact that they are obviously grilled.
