Y'all are making me hungry with all this talk of Smithfield ham and biscuits, which I too remember fondly from childhood and meals at my aunt's house in Colonial Heights. Thank goodness it is lunch time.

Dare I say you let Smithfield ham dissolve on your tongue while sucking the
essence and goodness out of it. Never, ever eaten the same way you would eat
a regular piece of ham. YES, you have described silver dollar biscuits --
small, light, feathery, soft, nothing to detract from the treat inside. AND
if you use butter, it must be the real thing, not some fake butter wanna-be.
