Ooo…good to know. I’ll have to look out for it. Most of the Aldi store brand stuff is pretty decent–it’s just never occurred to me to look for their Spam.

Original, Lite, Low Sodium, Hot and Spicy for sure. I remember having turkey-ish Spam but not sure if it was just turkey, oven roasted turkey, or both. So that’s 5-6 varieties in total.

80% of the ALDI brand stuff is good. The 20% that sucks tend to be products with more complicated recipes, like their some of their canned soups. Too many opportunities to cheap out. Almost anything of theirs imported from Germany is excellent.

I am a big fan. I smuggle in six cans on every trip. One a month until my next vacation.

Whenever I go to the supermarket, I have my spam filter on. Never touch the stuff.
