Food Joke

A young couple got married. When the wife prepared to bake a ham to celebrate their first Thanksgiving, she carefully cut off each end before placing it in the pan.Her husband asked her why she did that and she replied, "I don`t know - it`s what my mother always did. But I can ask her."She called Mom, who responded, "I always saw your Grandma do it, so I did the same."They decided to check further, so the young woman called Grandma, who explained, "It was the only way I could get it to fit into my pan."
