Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam ...

Why not order it direct from the factory?

It’s amazing the number of products they have in the shop section of the website, including a SPAM can costume.

I went to the original SPAM museum when it was at the factory, it has since moved. There was a restaurant across the street that specialized in SPAM, but it was for sale. I wonder if they got it sold?

My old college bud in Hawaii sent me this link to today’s article on Spam Musabi in Civil Beat.

Here’s a CBS Sunday Morning feature on SPAM.

14 different flavors of SPAM on the shelves of a Hawaiian grocery store, and they have an interview with Todd Rundgren and his wife Michele about their Tiki bar on Kauai that features SPAM on the menu. Todd explains that despite it’s reputation that it’s much better than hot dogs “It doesn’t have any snouts or anuses in it.”

It’s got a pretty high fat content, too. And not the “good” kind of fat.

But, can it be any worse than a hot dog? If you eat hot dogs, but turn your nose up a spam, you might want to think about that dog a little bit more carefully.

Oh, wow. Linguiça-flavored Spam!

We truly live in Modern Times.

Best SPAMwich recipe ever. It tastes like childhood and nostalgia, before I understood that we were poor. My kids, now 17 and 15, knew about e-mail spam before they knew about the food SPAM and they still ask for them for Saturday lunch on occassion.
Original Spam
Cheap-ass white bread.
American Cheese slices (the cheaper, the better.) Velveeta works too, but now you’re getting fancy

You’ve really got to try SPAM[sup]®[/sup] salad sandwiches. Skip the cheese.

.

My spam musubi technique:
–fry the spam: chuck it in teriyaki or in shoyu/mirin while still hot
–a bit of umeboshi/ ume paste on the rice, and furikake in it.
–et cetera as usual.
Da bomb.

Oh? Color me intrigued. I’ve seen it at Caputo’s and Dollar General.

Maple syrup, right?

Because he lives in civilization, where he can purchase his heart’s desire without waiting? :wink:

(Accidentally hit SUBMIT:smack: Now to finish)
Margarine, butter (it was on sale that week,) or Mayo (grabbed a bunch of packets at the last fast food place we ate at.)
Potato chips (store brand)
OPTIONAL: No-name canned chili-dog sauce
Remove SPAM from can and slice thin; fry with a little margarine, butter, or mayo.
Assemble SPAMwich: bread, cheese(ish substance), SPAM, cheese(ish substance), and bread. If you want to show off to the Hoi Polloi, you add another layer of SPAM and cheese(ish substance). Fry that mutha in SPAM grease and the fat of choice until golden brown.
Serve on plastic or paper plate. Add chips, and if you want to gourmet that, heat a can of chili sauce and dump it over the SPAMwich and chips

Monty Python shall enter here soon.

The magic word was spoken

See post #20.

Hey, what about post #11? I give and I give… . :wink:

Our supermarket only carries two variaties: SPAM, and Low Salt SPAM.

The Malaysian inlaws eat SPAM, or rice with SPAM, or fried rice with SPAM , as the mood hits them.

That store page didn’t have every flavor. The video clip I posted showed macadamia flavored SPAM on the shelves.

Must not be too civilized because he said he couldn’t find the Chorizo SPAM where he is.

When I ordered the variety case, it didn’t take too long to get here. But then I’m only one state over from the home state of SPAM.

Watch it again, it’s actually SPAM-flavored macadamia nuts, not the other way around.

Oh wait, that’s a lot worse.

I think you mean Treet. It’s still around.

Hell, how about the title? :wink:

I think I only ate Spam one time growing up, most likely while camping, but I tried it (again) a few years ago, and I realized that a fried Spam, egg and cheese on toasted rye with mustard wasn’t half bad. So I’ll make it once or twice a year for brunch at home on a weekend.

Never with baked beans. Y’all be trifling. :wink:
