Spam's pretty good. Down here we get a national variety that's similar. I like to slice it thin and toss on fresh bread with a bit of mayonnaise and a touch of mustard. Never tried it fried.

I am fortunate to have a spam filter ... as my wife wouldn't touch it and thus it never finds its way into the grocery cart.

Spam rocks!

Of course if it's made of meat and you can buy it in a can, I love it.

Of course. Nothing rolls around in a rucksack with a box of .30-30 ammo like that little blue can.

Although I haven't got around to trying them, yet, they now offer some versions that appear to be healthier than the original. May be worth a taste. Conversely, they now offer one with added bacon!

They have a great website, too.

I wonder if the grease rendered from pan fried SPAM would work as a bacon fat substitute in the cornbread recipes over on the other thread. SHUDDER ...

LOL, Spam really IS made of meat, pork shoulders actually, saw it being made on one of the cable channels.
Wally World has Spam, and their store brand, dirt cheap, get the lower salt one.
My old man loves that stuff, fried it's pretty good.

Ya mean "Ol' Snot Peppers"? They are OK if cooked long enough. If the slime impeded their progress down to the gut, they can cause a wicked yacking action.

Old Ironsights · Post by **Old Ironsights** » Mon Mar 24, 2008 5:09 pm

THe only way to eat okra is breaded in cornmeal and fried in bacon grease... then you can eat it like popcorn.

Any other method of slime production is prohibited.

Simply put, Spam is the best thing they ever canned. It lasts for years, if the can don't get wet. It's loaded with protein and fats, both of which you need. Makes an ideal addtion to the emergency supplies. I'll be those that don't like it would sure eat it up if they were hungry.

I try not to drop under 10 cans..I keep it rotated.

SPAM is good stuff. Made from select quality pork shoulders.

I like SPAM. My wife makes a terrific yakisoba.

I also like SOS.

I also used to like the Ham and Eggs that came in C-Rats.

SPAM = Some Parts And Meat

Is there anything that's not good after it's fried and has melted cheese on it? (I know what you're thinking!)

Yes, but not the ham and lima beans......

They claim it's pork shoulders, but looking at it I have always wondered what percentage of tongues, bungs, and lungs is in there too? Maybe a little sweepings off the meat cutting room floor?

Good to keep a can or two in the 72-hour kit but we only actually eat the stuff when we rotate our 72-hour supplies (a couple times a year we use our kits at camp-out time).

I used to eat it as a kid, then layed off for many years until I was stationed in Japan. The Japanese were given SPAM after the War due to food shortages and my Obasan remembers it as the only meat they ate for awhile and on Okinawa it is still kind of a staple meat. I eat it somewhat regularly again now.

Why do Hawaiians take so kindly to SPAM? I would have thought with all that seafood around there, spam would be used as chum.

You can thank WWII for that with everything being rationed SPAM was the only readily available meat protein during that time. Hawaiians have always loved pork (Kalua Pork, and Laulau dominant features in Hawaiian menus), and salt is the predominant spice in native cuisine so SPAM was an instant hit. Very convenient too.

Hawaiians love our fish too but to have a decent LU'AU you have to have both fish (preferably fresh and raw), and Kalua (ka-lua meaning the-pit or underground pit roasted) Pig.
