HA! Fun, isn't it? If ANYONE here comes to the defense of SPAM, I will personally come and dope slap you.
I just had to look up nutrition facts. Below is for 2 ounces; there are 7 ounces in the can (perhaps a bit less once you wipe off the gelatinous goo. ) Do the math. OMG, it is certain death in a can. Does it even qualify as "food"?
I worked once with a lady from the Philippines who would slice it REALLY thin, then grill/brown/carmalize it in a frying pan, and serve with white rice.
Oh-my-gawd.
My sodium craving body found nirvana.
Buy it, brown it, eat it.
And sure, you're knocking 37 months off your life expectancy...but I'll go with the Braveheart quote: "All men die, but not all men truly live."
The staple 'meat' of post WW2/food rationed Britain! Can't you get it with an egg inside?! Deep-fried Spam fritters apparently are a taste sensation.............
Not sure that I would eat spam on a bet. I actually thought it was a joke until I saw what looked like an actual add for it when I moved down south. Hard to imagine anyone actually eating it on purpose. Canned Unspecified meat product, no thanks.
I will occasionally eat a hot dog at a baseball game which I realize is likely worse...no chance on the spam
Can't remember which version of "Vienna Sausage" (etc) it is, but there's one of these canned meats whose first ingredient is "partially defatted beef fatty tissue". Eeewwww!
You can't really say that your informed though unless you go to the SPAM Museum like my family and I did. You can learn all about the importance of "spiced ham" or SPAM. After that, you can go next door and pig out at the SPAM Resturaunt!!!!
I don't know the actual challenge something over MLK king day but basically like this thread, we talked about who liked it and who didn't!! and Mike H did like it and I called him Spam Man for the rest of the OS and was inspired to make the video. never been to the spam museum though! no kidding that stuff sticks to your ribs and you are NOT hungry for hours, so although high in calories, you won't eat soon after. m
Short story: Folks were talking about the odd things their mothers used to do, and Marianne commented that they had Spam: "SPAM!! who eats that now anyway, but I see it being sold."
I then went off on the virtues of the gelatenous pink blob o'joy.
Truth be known, I was just happy to be Spam Man for a while instead of AssMan... (yet another LONG story)

Beware of meat that doesn't need to be refrigerated.
