Oh yes,,, I don't really like it, but 20-25 years ago in the college and bachelor days it was a staple, right next to the tuna and Kraft mac & cheese..

We'd take SPAM along on camping trips when I was in the scouts. I remember slicing my finger really good on that metal strip when I was trying to unwind it once. About a year ago I saw it in the store and decided to try it again for old time's sake. Waaaaaaayyyy too salty and not very flavorful. I definitely liked it more as a kid.
 
This thread really cracks me up.....LMAO!
 
This thread is making me hungry, so off to the kitchen to fry up some

I couldnt have said it better myself. Also, If no one likes it, how come they stay in business?

I LOVE SPAM!
 
I haven't had spam in a loooong time. I may pick some up next time I'm at the store. They used the twist type key last time I had any.

Does anyone know exactly what a spamburger is? Is that spam mixed in with the beef or is it a slab of spam on a hamburger bun?

p.s. thanks for the spam recipes. I may try some.
 
A spamburger,you take and cut the spam so it is a square about 1/4 to 1/2 in thick and used it in place of a hamburger pattie.

Or you can put a slice on top of a hamburger, with cheese, bacon, and an egg over easy... and top it all with rich creamery butter ... we call it the "Good Morning Burger" ...
Homer: mmmm....
 
SPAM is still a big part of the local diet in some parts of the Pacific. Seems it came over w/ the GI's during WWII & stuck.
I came this >||< close to going to the SPAM museum when I was in Minnesota a while back.
Can't say if I can remember the last time I actually ate any. I remember it being a Sodium bomb. Used to have it cut into slabs, fried & served on toast or a roll.
Oh, and there's this:

I think it's time to move this recipe thread to Community Center.... :cool:

Those key-opening cans were a real hazard -- sharp! I used to slice up Spam and throw it in the deep fryer -- that's easier than a frying pan; you don't have to turn it -- then make a grilled cheese sandwich with Spam in the middle, Havarti or Jack cheese on both sides of the Spam, on pumpernickel bread. I used to think all that saturated fat tasted pretty good ... it's more from the butter and cheese than from the Spam....
 
If Spam's too salty for you, just take the slab and soak it in a little warm water for about 30 seconds. The salt evacuates via osmosis. Adding garlic powder or other seasonings to the water gives you brined Spam, which is excellent. :footinmou
