Some people like thinly cut ham? We have “chip-chopped” deli ham here, claimed to make it “hammier, tastier”. I can’t vouch for that, but that is the marketing. Maybe spiral cut is similar.
I tend to think when those charges were dropped it made sense just to pay a fine and move past it. Like if you were to kill someone for walking through your neighborhood, it would be ridiculous to then sue that person’s family after you were found not guilty of the murder. Just move along.
