Spam the king of canned meat.

[Gregg]

I recently saw a commercial for Spam. It was sizzling in a frying pan with melted cheese then on a sandwich. Switch to another shot spam and eggs. Looked good sounded good. I have only had Spam twice in my life. Once with eggs and once on a sandwich. I remember liking both.

I told my wife I was going to buy some and try it. She immediately said she was out. Well today was the day. Spam, fried eggs, and toast. Looked good, sounded good, tasted not so good. Pretty salty. It is not something I will ever crave again.

The package I bought was a two pack. I wonder how long that second pack will be in the cupboard before it gets thrown out?

Or maybe I will ask if any of you have Spam recipes that you enjoy? Or Spam experiences you would share?

I ate Spam as kid. I ate bologna as a kid, too, for that matter. I have never chosen to purchase or consume either as a consenting adult.

I have never had Vienna sausages and never had a desire to try them.

We make fried baloney sliders. It is made like a grilled cheese sandwich except we add sauteed onions and fried baloney with the cheese. Really tasty. Have it about 2 or 3 times a year.

My mom is German, she made her own homemade liverwurst, and I liked it. I've never had liverwurst from the grocery store.

I might like it now, I was a very picky water in my younger years

This got me thinking...it has probably been 40 years since I had bologna. My kids never got to enjoy it...altough they had hot dogs when they were younger

Old hot dogs are not so good. They get a bit slimy.

It seems to be a big deal in Hawaii. Often recipes include pineapple with the Spam.

There's a Hawaiian BBQ chain here that has a few SPAM items on its menu.

Everyone I know from Hawaii worships the stuff. Layered with pineapple rings and baked is party food.

Most people don't wash off the jelly, which is very strongly flavored. Diced and rinsed it works as a ham substitute. The jelly will flavor a pot of beans.

Factoid, the name comes from SPiced hAM.

There is also a SPAM museum. I would have more interest in visiting it than eating it again.
