Fried spam

Love it! Just ate some hot and spicy. Are you a fan?

NOPE!

About once a year for old times sake.

Yup

Yessir!
Fried spam sammich’s about once a month-

Nope...don't care to because of having to eat it when growing up,,

Eating Spam is like riding a bike!
Once you do it, you never forget!

Derek will chime in shortly on all the nutritional benefits of said fake meat product.

Bacon flavored about once a month.

SPAM sushi is the bomb

Nothing but pork

I got me a fresh can in the pantry now. I'm going to make a poor Hawaiian Loco Moco with it one of these days. I just need the wife to be gone because she hates the stuff. Especially when I tell her how after opening the can, the spam jelly is good with crackers. At that point she usually

Every once in a while I'll get a craving for it so we always have a can or two in the house... Dan

This right here. I actually have been tempted to try it lately, but just can’t get there.

Absolutely, fried spam and cheese sammichs, so tasty

Yes!!

Is SPAM an acronym for Scientifically Processed Animal Matter or Special Processed American Meat

Back in the day, I used to carry 2 cans of SPAM and a box of Twinkies in one of my boat compartments. If I got into an emergency situation, I would use them as a food source. It only happened once and I'm glad they were available.

Love me a fried spam and cheese sandwich!

Yep, I have a bunch...
True story.. When I was in the Navy, (1971) Returning from Viet Nam, we visited the Mariana Islands. (only place, I ever wanted to go back to).
We visited this one island, where there was a pretty good size village. Well, there were some Christian missionaries, living there.
They came aboard the ship to welcome us. We asked what they needed. They said, "everything". So we loaded up their
diesel tanks. (They had generators). Hundreds of cases, of Sea Rats. Clothes, especially left over combat boots. sox, and a bazillion T-shirts..
Large tents, And every spare tool we had aboard.
We were set, to off load all this stuff, when we returned to Guam anyway. Our ship was being de-comissioned, and turned over to Singapore Navy.
The USS Holmes County LST-836) Google if ya like.
"Back to my point" When we started off loading hundreds of cases of spam. Those folks went nuts. They started hugging us, and crying.
It was amazing. Of course, we couldn't understand a word they said. They were jumping up and down.. You'd think, we gave them cases of
Sirloin steaks. The Missionaries, explained they considered Spam such a delicacy. And they hadn't had any, in years..
They relied pretty much on contrubutions.
Never felt so good, in my life.. We spent a couple days there.
There's more to the story... But that's for another time.

It is better than Vienna sausage in tomato sauce! That stuff is nasty!

Current situation

Concur completely, I don’t know that I could eat a Vienna sausage unless doing so was the only thing standing between me and death

They sell Spam sushi rolls in Hawaii. Spam seems to be quite popular there.

Peasant food

I’ll try it once, haven’t had it since I was a kid, maybe bacon or garlic flavored.

Cheaper than Bacon, that’s for sure.

Spam and the McRib are in the same category

Is it true that sea salt is good for you, and that if that Spam had 25% MORE salt (that was sea salt) it would be extra heart healthy? I’m only asking because I’ve heard being that claimed before.

I opened this wishing to see some way to send a high voltage shock to those sending me constant spam calls. But Spam in the can is good anyway you fix it.

I ate lots as a kid, don't remember not liking it. Few years ago decided to try it again--thought it was disgusting. Couldn't eat it. Same with sardines which I also ate a lot as a kid (King Oscar).

same, grew up on spam and scrambled eggs mostly bkfst but sometimes even dinner. no more for me.

vienna sausage and saltines (low sodium of course) and we can talk!

Love a fried spam sammich! Only get to do it when I'm playing bachelor at the lake

Never had it, but I like bologna and pork roll, so I’m sure I’d like it.

I like it but I don't eat it often. I usually fry it up with eggs.

I'm kinda White trash but that's below my standards.

Derek's either watching his grass grow or got the Covid not to have jumped in on a Spam thread.

South Korea is the largest consumer per capita of Spam in the world. It is considered a treat.

I love fried spam and cheese sandwiches. Every time I eat it I chuckle remembering how much my dad hated it. He said that's all they had in Italy in ww2.

I love fried spam.

Wife makes spam salad. Like chicken or tuna salad. Good sandwich.

Jimmy

Same here….grew up on spam and scrambled eggs. Used to love it as a kid, not so much anymore.

Wife slices it and pours baked beans over it. Nuke and good to go.

I like Spam, been earing Spam all my life.... good stuff

Only thing I remember being worse than viennas was sardines in tomato sauce. Spam is in a class above those!

I haven't ate spam in years. Not to say I won't ever again, but if so, I will need it pan fried to a crisp, almost burnt condition w/ American cheese and lots of mustard.

Ohhhhhhh-yeah ! LOL... Fried Spam sammich is good eat'n... also like Spam in Saimin-noodle soup, Spam fried rice, Spam and eggs, Spam in Mac-n-cheese... Yup Spam is like hot dogs and bologna and sausage, don't care what's in it, it taste good !... LOL

This was my Dad's favorite, he called it "Vianna".
