The Wonders of Spam

[GL49]

Fried Spam sandwiches with a couple of tall glasses of milk, it doesn't get any better than that. My wife makes me cook them for myself, she'll leave the kitchen.
Low cholesterol, BP 112/65, see what Spam will do for you?

Spam= spiced ham. It's all shoulder meat. Read the label. I love it, especially since they make a lower sodium version.

[bob208]

we keep a few cans in stock if it gets bad. also have some of the 2 lb. canned hams. more then once I had fried spam sandwiches at school and work.

I do not eat it often, but there is always about 4 cans in the truck for when it's needed. Like to grind it up with sweet pickles and mix with mayo for sandwiches

Cubed spam makes good blue catfish bait in some bodies of water. That's the only use I have for spam.

blue catfish are notoriously unselective in their appetites. We used to cube laundry soap (Octagon or P&G) an duse that to catch catfish in still waters.

I can eat Spam. I never developed any appetite for Octagon soap.

Use Miracle Whip instead of mayo, and add a dash of prepared mustard as well.... MUCH more flavor, and a darned good sandwich. Sweet relish will save the work of chopping pickles.

What a bunch of low-brow, non-epicurean peasants we are.... isn't it great?

In S Korea, Spam is considered a luxury, gourmet food.

I have had great success using Spam cubes as jug fishing bait. As I recall I didn't even spring for the real stuff- I used stuff from the generic store and the catfish just ate it up.

If you ever want to make big points with a Korean couple being married, a gift of SPAM is very thoughtful. Their older people view SPAM as comfort food, and a gift of SPAM is a loving reassurance that you will never know famine, but if hard times come your way, you will have abundant life through the thoughtfulness and generosity of friends.

Spam will catch them 10-1 over any soap bait.

Yep they love the fat in it plus it puts off a good scent trail.

I was a mere child when I was introduced to STUFF POSING AS MEAT. I thought mom was feeding us dogfood but my pooch Cindy would not touch it. If your dog wont eat it it is not fit for human consumption. (GAG) spam ......... ick

[tommag]

I consider spam to be an essential in my truck. I keep several cans on hand for emergency, because it will be there when the edible stuff is gone.

[starmac]

I will say it is better than potted meat, cause I could never get potted meat to stay on a fish hook.

[ElDorado]

I've heard Samoans and other Pacific Islander people really love Spam.

A Samoan co-worker once told me that they save Spam for special occasions - parties, super bowl, and such. For everyday eating they use the walmart brand.

I like it as a camping breakfast with scrambled eggs, although I do eat it at home, too.

[gandydancer]

I can't think of any thing good to say about spam.

[RugerFan]

Spam is tasty, easy to prepare in many different ways, nourishing and healthy.

Oh STOP! If you enjoy the eating Spam that's fine, but don't for a minute try to tell anyone it's "healthy."

[MaryB]

I have some of the single serve pouches. Good about twice a month.

My two dogs both love Spam. They would eat all I could give them. However, they just get small bites. Spam is too delicious to feed to the dogs.
