SPAM...The actual meat.

[litespeedhuskerfan]

Sizzle, pork, and mmmm.

Who's had it?? Seeing a ton of commercials for it that I don't remember seeing before the virus...I have yet to try it and my first question would be to anyone who bought it is, "Did the store run out of actual meat"?

 

[SkerInCo]

Only time I eat it is when I make my mom's Spam casserole.

 

[drubendall]

I drive past the museum in Austin MN often. I am compelled to stop and visit one of these days.

It's actually pretty good. Fry it up on a cast iron pan. Try cutting thin and thick and see which you prefer. I saw some awhile back as well as Treet brand. Man I don't remember them being that expensive 30 yrs ago comparable to other meat prices. I remember it being a cheap alternative. Not so much today

Cube it up, fry it, and use it in omelets.

I'm guessing spam.

Me: Is Spam made from beef or pork?

Hormel Staffer: It’s made from “meat” (air quotes).

 

[huskerfan66]

Pork shoulder and ham.... atleast that is the way they"used" to advertise it

 

[GretnaShawn]

My grandpa worked on the kill floor for 39 years at Hormel. He ate spam every Sunday. So I can’t imagine it is that terrible.

Some really, really old yet still perfectly preserved Spam

Well it can't be showcasing their cans thru the years, seems like they've had the same can since I've been alive...and you're probably right.

WWll staple. Hawaii consumes the most per capita.

Are they still eating the leftovers from WWII?? Or is this a new batch?

Could be either... Doesn't really matter. It all tastes the same.

 

[GretnaShawn]

Not that I can remember. I’m sure I had it sometime when I was with him. Just don’t remember.

SPAM has a bit of a cult following. It's a bit too salty for my taste but I get the nostalgic appeal. I still like food that brings back good childhood memories - like Mrs. Butterworth's vs. the $15 pure maple syrup. I'll take the former every time.

 

[redfanusa]

Had it a few times as a kid. Remember it tasted like somebody had chewed up some ham, spit it back out, and served it on a plate.

 

[huntered]

if i was starving and wanted to go on living, then yes i would cook the shit out it, stomp it a couple times, cook it some more until dark brown. on the other hand dad loved it.

 

[otismotis08]

It's actually very tasty. Similar to bacon. I used to do spam on a stick when camping.

Now if only I could find some scrapple. That is the real deal.

 

[chopter]

im about to fry up some slices and have some shells and cheese with spam. delicious.

 

[Baxter48]

It’s really greasy, I’d eat it before sardines or any soy burger or fake meat

 

[FLAGBR]

When I was still travelling to other countries for a couple of months at a time I would always take 2 2lb logs of Velveeta cheese & 2 cans of Spam. Once going thru customs in Moscow they kept taking the Velveeta out & debating on keeping it - could have been a war breaking out. They knew better than to mess with my 2 cans of Spam. True story. GBA/GBR

I'm guessing you're referring to the Moscow in Russia. FWIW you don't have to go thru customs here in Moscow, Idaho.

You guys are terrible, SPAM is no better or worse than any other processed canned meat. Not my favorite, but I have no problem eating it on occasion.

You know what most lunchmeats are comprised of, yes?

Canned pork shoulder and ham plus too much salt.

We got a spam cookbook in Hawai'i a few years back, it is the rage there, and here too with our large Filipino community.

Filipinos really like spam and also canned corned beef. the cheaper the better lol.

 

[leodisflowers]

When I lived in Hawaii, there are some places that make a mean Spam and eggs. Really good.

 

[tpmcg]

fry a thin sliced of spam and put on a burger w.cheese.
its not bad, but i've only done it a few times.

 

[kikdakan]

besides the original, there is a variety of different flavors now. i don't mind it at all.

WwII era spam and Vietnam era Schlitz

So are you saying your meat is getting old or that it is well preserved by the alcohol?

Its nothing but pork shoulder and ham with spices. I've been through their factory as USDA and it's just what it is, no air quotes.

Actually after several years of looking, granted not real hard, I did find somewhere I could buy Schlitz. Unfortunately in cans

If they did burn it down, can you imagine the delicious smell?
