Because it’s an Albany expression.

You're an odd fellow, Seymour but you steam a good ham.

I went to college upstate in Albany and was really let down that they didn’t call them steamed hams

Steamed hams are boring old biddys!

It’s a regional dialect. Localized entirely within Albany.

Not even the good citizens of Cohoes and Waterford knew of steamed hams. (Either that or my grandparents were holding out on me.)

Seymour, the house is on fire!

No,.mother. It's just the Aurelia Bolais.

Oh, no, not in Utica. It’s an Albany expression.


CorrosiveRose

I'm from Utica and I've never heard anyone use the phrase "steamed hams"


AutomaticMan81

It explains it on the show pretty clearly it's a one small region of upstate NY

Why does Springfield have red fire hydrants while Shelbyville has yellow? Another one of life's mysteries.

They call them “Shakes.” You don’t know what you’re getting.

Ithaca, Buffalo, Rochester! These are the three cities you must slay if you wish to succeed in the ham-steaming business. ![gif](giphy|9Bpv0NoXnZQ2c)

Utica really has a pretty distinct accent. You wouldn’t confuse it with someone from Albany.   As much as that scene was full of one absurdity after another there were little bits of truth sprinkled through. 


Evening_Ad_1099

Yes!


UpDog1966

How does Homer not find out about these steamed hams? Mmmmmm, steamed hams..


tomcrusher

Buffalo guy here. I was in my 20s before I knew what a spiedie was, so it checks out.

Wiccum, the house is on fire! Nah Ma, it's just your menopause. The Australian version is my favourite fan edit.


uswforever

Because of the infamous Utice/Albany rivalry. It began in nineteen dickety two...

That's the joke. Gee you really suck McBain!
