I wouldn't feed my fish ham, personally. It's pretty highly processed and may contain all sorts of preservatives like sodium nitrite. Not to mention all that salt! You might be giving your fishies little heart attacks 
Just kidding, no it's mostly all the chemicals used to process it that I wouldn't want in my tanks.

i dont think id give ham a whirl either. are you using deli meat bought in stores? plahs right about preservatives, it could cause alot of problems with water chemistry. ive read dry dog food works as a treat but ive never tried that either. the ham might be perfectly fine, i would just test your water extensively when you do add it in. after all, fish dont eat pigs in nature =P
ham almost killed my dog. and it was a really small amount of ham (like less than 1 oz.) its really high in salt and preservatives. i wouldnt even dare get any near my tank....
too many preservatives for me...frozen brine shrimp and frozen bloodworms work well for my fish...they love the blood worms and occasionally I feed them live newly hatched brine shrimp and they love it...
Not to mention, terestrial mamalian fats are not as water soluable as aquatic fats. Feeding fish anything like ham, mice, beef, etc. is risky in that aspect as well.

I will say that i do trim the fat first before i put it in, it is also cuts and not processed stuff.
