While helping give out turkey and ham for a hunger charity, Paula Deen was hit in the face with a ham.

The southern celebrity cook known all throughout the nation for her “down home” cooking was struck by the other white meat when a volunteer hurled a ham towards her. It was purely accidental, a rookie to the event said “Hey Paula, back atcha!” while throwing a ham like a football towards her.

While Deen managed to escape visible injury, she did say the area around her nose hurt.

“I just got hit with a hog so what do I expect said Deen through laughter. “Ran head on to a hog.”
