    Thumbs up The Goodness of Spam

    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

    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.

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

    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.

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

    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.

    "eating a bait....." ??? Is this a typo that I am too dense to figure out or
    some sort of Texas slang I never heard of?

    Never ate any bait or wanted to.

    Like Spam just fine.

    I prefer freshly killed Snail Possum And Mouse as opposed to the canned stuff.

    ......or is specially prepared armadillo meat?

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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

    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.
