It's really a shame about SPAM


and I'm not talking about unwanted email. SPAM the canned meat is so good and it has such a bad reputation, and I'm wondering why? Is it because there is a lot of fat? Bacon is super fatty and everybody loves bacon. Is it because it's ground up meat reshaped? So are hamburgers and hot dogs and who doesn't like hamburgers and hot dogs. Is is because it's in a can? Tuna comes in a can I don't know anybody who would refuse a good tuna sandwich.

Well, I love SPAM and I'm not afraid to say it. I've actually talked to quite a few people who say they hate it, but then I find out they have never even tried it!

In case you think that you hate SPAM, but haven't tried it in a while (or ever) why not give it a try? Just slice it pretty thin (about 1/2 in) and cook it just like bacon, on your griddle or frying pan and just cook both sides until golden brown. Eat it with eggs and toast for breakfast (it's surprisingly good dipped in syrup, too-like ham or bacon). Or, after it's fried, grill some onions, melt some cheese on it and eat it between toast with lettuce and tomato for a YUMMY sandwich.

I grew up eating out of cans and had Spam many a time for breakfast. Funny thing is....I haven't eaten any since about 1985. Maybe it's time to crack open a can...

I too grew up on SPAM. The last time I had said mystery meat, however, was when we went four wheeling in AF canyon together like YEARS ago, remember that?
I have nothing against it, I just never think about it.

The first time I ever had SPAM was in Hawaii for a "traditional" Spam-and-Eggs breakfast. It was delicious. I have since retracted any degrading statements I've made about the stuff. ;)

My mom has always cubed it and put it in her baked beans. It's delicious that way! I think that's the only way I've ever eaten it.
