The Goodness of Spam

[Moondawg]

Well I just got finished eating a bait of fried Spam slices on whole grain toast. Now that is food fit for a king. I am so glad to live in a country where Spam is readily available, and one can still shoot cast boolits. Whoever invented Spam deserves a Nobel Prize, for his goodness to mankind.
Happy New Year Ya'll :)

[w5pv]

I like it fried to crispy bacon like texture,with a little spicy mustard on toast.

When in Korea SPAM is very much appreciated as a valued gift. Great way to make points wiith the locals.

I'm fond of WalMart's store brand. High fat, high sodium, like real Spam used to be. Coupla slices of that in the pan, and there's plenty of grease to fry my morning egg. Fortunately high blood pressure is not among my medical dysfunctionalities.

[OnceFired]

I admire your old-fashioned-ness. And I still shudder every time I even think about SPAM.

[roysha]

The wife and I really like SPAM McBagels. This is a home made version of the McDonald McBagel. Nice big plain bagel, very lightly toasted, a couple of 1/4" thick slices of SPAM fried just so the outside is crispy, 2 eggs, a slice of our home made mozzarella cheese, nuked just enough to soften but not melt, and a healthy (?) schmear of the wife's homemade blue cheese dressing. What a way to start the day!!

Also grilled and cut into 1/2" cubes served with cubed cheese and crackers with our homebrew Pale Ale or Elderberry wine.

[brtelec]

I grew up eating Spam. I like it every now and then. My kids like it.

[blackthorn]

I really thought the color purple print would have been in evidence! We call it "Pig Lips". Spam/Kam/Klick---Ugh!

[Charlie Two Tracks]

Fried liver and onions in a cast iron pan before spam. Spam is just a survival food for me. I guess that is why there is more than one channel on a TV set though. Not everybody likes the same thing.

[brtelec]

I love liver and onions.

[DIRT Farmer]

Spam for breackfast and liver and onions for lunch. The only complaint would be from my cardioligst. You gotta live sometime.

[brtelec]

Its a southern thing. Kinda like eating a "mess" of something. Funny you caught that as I read it and it didn't register to me as odd or different. I knew exactly what he was talking about. But then again I grew up and lived the majority of my life in the deep south.....

BTW, Spam should be its own food group. I love it any way it can be cooked, and when there aint a way to cook it then straight out of the can is just fine.

[DLCTEX]

When I worked as a house parent for a boy's home we had cases of Spam donated and the man in the commisary complained that no one would utilize it. I shredded it , shredded some chedder, and mixed it in the scrambled eggs before frying them. The 16 boys I was cooking for (four were my own) loved it. They bragged on it to other boys to the extent that the other house parents wanted my recipie. Soon the commisary was buying more.

[xs11jack]

I like it on a baked potato. Mash the potato with your fork, add diced Spam and grated sharp cheddar cheese. Salt to taste.
Yum!
Ole Jack

[randyrat]

Woooooooooo I like thin sliced liver fried with onions or heart sliced and fried. I'll eat spam but it just seems to be more of a survival food.
I would rather eat Braunschweiger on toast

[2AMMD]

Cubed and fried then mixed in mac and cheese or scrambled eggs. Also fried and cheddar cheese melted on top for a sandwich. Limeted because of cholesterol but splurge every now and then.

[MtGun44]

I was raised many years in Va and in north central (cracker) Florida and heard
a whole lot of southern sayings, never this. My wife's family is all from
Mississippi and I never heard it there, either.

Bill

[MaryB]

Grilled cheese with a slice of fried spam in it, fried egg is optional too.

[Outpost75]

SPAM run through a meat grinder with a diced onion and a green bell pepper, a diced potato and a shot of Texas Pete. Form into patties, 1/2" thick, roll in beaten egg, then cracker crumbs seasoned with 1/2 teaspoon each of salt, cayenne and black pepper, then deep fry and serve with corn tortila chips and refried beans with Coca cola.

Don't know what to say.... Heard that one all my life. Then again I never heard my granny say the word "help". It was always "hope".

[uscra112]

I know that "bait" used to mean a meal was in common usage in England in the 18th century. I have the idea it may go back as far as Chaucer.

[fryboy]

spam man ... it has it's place ! ( and several cans are in my pantry ) the true question is - should we do a poll as to what flavor is best ? original isnt bad ,jalapeno is me fav and bacon is a close runner up ....

[ShooterAZ]

Bait of Spam= A cube of Spam on a treble hook for Channel Cats. Almost as good as a piece of hot dog.

[theperfessor]

I eat two thin slices of the low fat version fried up with my morning scrambled eggs. Yummy!

[Roosters]

You always eat a big bait at Thanksgiving and Christmas.... :???: All this talk of spam I like potted meat and nabs or a can of Vienna sausage and nabs.

[DougGuy]

Spam don't have -nothin'- on North Carolina livermush!

This stuff is 94% fat free, very little cholesterol, and tastes like a mix of liver and spicy country sausage. It's actually quite good.

Is it made with cornmeal?

CM

[DougGuy]

Yep Charlie it has a little cornmeal in it, and some wheat flour, sausage seasoning, fresh (not smoked) pork liver and pork jowl. All cooked, ground, and pressed into a block mold to set. Slice it thin and fry it crisp, nothing like it!

[opos]

Spam and carp.....poor mans "Surf and Turf"..if you spend any time in Hawaii you will find Spam on many menus in local cafes, etc...it's sort of a national tradition...left overs from WW2 and just always held on...I ate a ton of Spam as a kid...we had fried Spam with fried cornmeal mush (with syrup) for breakfast...about 4 years ago I asked my Wife to fry me up some Spam and mush for breakfast and "pass the syrup"..it was horrible!! Guess we didn't know better in the 40's.

[jonp]

Spam, powdered eggs and powdered milk for breakfast. Yum

[MT Gianni]

We ate it occasionally growing up. I have not had any since my marriage in 77 and don't miss it at all. Too many other meats close at hand to eat preservatives.

[onceabull]

Well now, I was raised nearly as far west in the orig.48 as one can go sans wading, and we ate many a bait of x, y ,z, or two out of three... Onceabull

Not sure if it is Texas. I heard it at home as a child. My father came from way back in the Ozarks Mts. of Missouri. He used to say a bait of this or a bait of that meaning a mess of, or pan full, or plate full of various kinds of food.

[Blacksmith]

+ 1 on the scrapple. I love a scrapple egg and cheese sandwich or hoggie for breakfast.

[abunaitoo]

Spam is great. Grew up on it.
Spam mac and cheese. Spam and cheese sandwich. Fried spam. Spam and cabbage. Deep fried spam. Raw spam in ramin. Spam and green beans.
Most popular way to eat it is a spam musubi.
Some here eat it at every meal.
Wouldn't know what to do without spam.
There is a spam cook book you can get from Amazon. It's written here by a local lady.

[DougGuy]

Scrapple is totally different from livermush. Not even close to the same.

[MtGun44]

I'm guessing (based on the report of English roots) it may be a more Arkansas, Tex sort of thing. Never heard it on
the east coast part of the south - put on a pair of "paints" in NC, lots of other good southern saying. I like the
south and the good folks in it.

I'll mark that down as a linguistic lesson.

Would love to hear more about this. I've always been told that Spam was invented by Hormel in Austin MN and was originally called Spiced Ham. Got renamed Spam in 1937 after a contest was held to come up with a catchier name.

[ShooterAZ]

My understanding is that the name is derived from "Shoulder of Pork & Ham". Not sure if that is correct or not.

Back in the mid `60`s my family was getting the back yard ready for a "critter burning session" (a.k.a. a BBQ). A buddy saw a can of SPAM in the can cupboard and grabbed it out. He opened it and sliced it up about 3/8" thick then threw it on the grill. After a few minutes he turned the slabs and a few minutes more served it up. WOW!!! I never would have believed how GOOD it tasted grilled! You really need to try this simple way of having it, did I mention that you don`t need a bun or bread.Robert

When we say that we don't eat the bait that was before eating crawfish,shrimp crabs became poplar table fare.Here in east Texas a lot of the country folks would not eat the bait.The only bait they would eat was liver.I like all of it spam to salt bacon and think now that we missed a lot of good table fare.Eating a mess of something ment you ate enough to get stuffed or full.

One of North Carolina's best loved breakfast foods is that Poor Boy's Pate', Liver Mush. This delicacy, fried crisp and served with grits and scrambled eggs, is a wonderful way to start the day.

[thxmrgarand]

Spam is sold at the McDonald's which is directly across the street from the Honolulu hotel where Obama always stays and spent the recent holiday period. I imagine it is sold at McDonald's throughout that state.

People in HI have told me that Spam tastes just like boiled missionary, or so they were told by their elders.

[Col4570]

Way back someone mentioned the Monty Python Spam Sketch.Another one I remember was,is there any Rat in this Pie,answer absolutely not,well a little bit,quite a lot realy.
Mad as hatters but entertaining.

[rockrat]

I remember the first time I had Spam. Was helping a friend out at his Dads farm all day and by evening, we were pretty hungry. Got out a can of spam, cut it up and cooked it over an open fire, on a stick. Stuck the cooked slice on a piece of bread and thought it was mighty tasty. I like the bacon spam, sliced and fried in a pan. Then made into a sandwich with mustard and mayo. Pretty good. Course, I like fried bologna sandwiches too, got that from my grandmother. also like the cans of deviled ham.

[uscra112]

Would love to hear more about this. I've always been told that Spam was invented by Hormel in Austin MN and was originally called Spiced Ham. Got renamed Spam in 1937 after a contest was held to come up with a catchier name.

My family, knowing what a Spam addict I am, (a can a week on average) sent me an "Official History of Spam" booklet they bought at the SPAM MUSEUM in Minniesoter. Yes, there really is a Spam Museum.

Quoting from memory, the Hormel folks were selling canned hams, but their retailers wanted something in a smaller can that a housewife could use up in one meal. The result was Spam, which coincidentally let them use up all those pork shoulders. The name is the acronym for "Spiced Pork And Ham", and story about the name being invented by an actor relative is true.

[uscra112]

BTW in "British English" during the Napoleonic era the word "mess" also seems to have meant a single meal, as well as the organizations which fed groups of officers, (who had to feed themselves without assistance from the King, and at their own expense BTW, right through WW2), and then of course to the feedlots for the enlisted men.

Makes the Biblical anecdote about "selling one's birthright for a mess of pottage" make more sense. Literally selling it for just one meal, and a mighty poor one at that. Pottage in late medieval England meaning the contents of a pot of "stew" kept always on the fire, and into which all kinds of leftovers and scraps were thrown, against the possibility that day after tomorrow that's all you might have to eat. The French called it "pot a feu", and in modern times it has been imbued with the aura of a delicacy.

[Handloader109]

Actually like the stuff. I ate it occasionally growing up, but dad, being a vet, didn't go for it very often. He would rather skip meat with a meal than eat it. Wife like it, and there are really way worse things.... some made with hog, some not.

My dad never made all that money working for the railroad. So when we went to the beach mom would chop up a can or two and add green sweet relish. Spread on bread and we ate the heck out of it. Love it fried on bagels, or hoagy rolls. Have a half dozen cans in the pantry. Frank

[36g]

My Dad was a WWII vet so I'm sure he had lots of it in the Pacific. BUT I remember having fried SPAM as a kid and my Dad would still eat it. I still enjoy SPAM. The company had a building at the MN State Fair that had a more complete variety of flavors than is available in the U.S. as they do make some varieties for export. I don't remember all of them but we did try some and they were decent. Luckily no Vegamite flavored ones for the Aussies though...

Generic spam ain't Spam .

Heads up on Jalapeno Flavored Spam ... It's not that it taste bad but they add ground Jalapeno peppers to the meat mixture ... which should be good but it tints the meat this unappetizing shade of meat-pink-green ...

I grew up on SPAM, can't remember a Hunting, Fishing or Shooting trip w/o it. DAD could do amazing things with SPAM.
I've had at least 1 can of SPAM in My pantry since I got out of the Service in 1975. Eat it at least once a month.

[Thundarstick]

Jalapeño SPAM is my favorite, especially for fried rice! It was out of stock for almost a year during the pandemic.

Any meat product that list "mechanically separated meat" has the wire brush stuff in it! If you are not grinding your own hamburger it probably has msm and body cavity fat in the mix. BTW there are some good YouTube videos on how to make your own SPAM!
