Spam

[KeithTalent]

Talking about the "food" of course: http://www.appscout.com/images/spam%20boy.jpg

I think I tried it once when I was a little kid and hated it. The texture was just disgusting from what I recall, but it appears to still be going strong.

I'm interested to know if anyone here eats it/ate it/knows someone who eats it.

I ate it yesterday. Cold spam is pretty gross, but if you fry it (cook in a skillet with only a little bit of oil since fat will render out as you cook it), it's pretty good. I had it in a sandwich with cheese and an egg over easy. Spam is insanely salty though, so if you do eat it get the reduced sodium which is still pretty salty.

 

[vi edit]

We group in pretty poor household. Spam was a treat.

My Mom would mix up BBQ sauce and some ketchup, bake it, and then we'd have "BBQ Spammiches".

Not so sure I could willingly go for it now, but never had a problem as a kid.

Crazy. Not available in my area I'm pretty sure otherwise I'd go try it.

Are you joking? That stuff is awesome.

I usually only eat Light Spam though, and even then sparingly. The stuff is horrible for you.

 

[zebano]

It's pretty decent stuff, but I don't eat it often. I have however been to the SPAM museum in Austin, MN

 

[Miklebud]

Mmmm Spammiches.

 

[E equals MC2]

Let me tell you about absolute ownage:

1. Make fresh white rice.
2. Heat up skillet to HIGH with generous amount of vegetable oil
3. Slice Spam thinly (not too thin, about 1/8")
4. Pan fry those fuckers until outside turns beautifull crispy and scarred

Serve with rice. Good stuff. Add kimchi on the side if you'd like.

AWESOME

I obviously can't vouch for it but you might want to hit this place up

I'll ask my friend in Vancouver if he knows of any HI shops

[Anubis]

its really good when you grill it

 

[amdhunter]

SPAM thats been cooked is awesome.

 

[KeithTalent]

The only time I had it, it was just straight out of the can, sliced and placed in-between white bread with some mustard. It was disgusting and I never let my Uncle make me lunch again.

I guess I need to try it froed.

[SpunkyJones]

Fry it up and add ketchup.

Spam isn't bad stuff, but that sounds too damn salty.

But yeah, Spam is best fried almost crispy.

 

[nakedfrog]

Spam fried in a skillet, on a toasted bagel with cream cheese = YUM
I only have it a few times per year, though.

There's not really a good poll option for me.

Done.

Spam is nasty shit. I never did understand why so many people, ESPECIALLY Hawaiians, love it so. Don't disparage Spam to a Hawaiian...you'll likely get beat down for speaking against one of Gawd's gifts to man...<shudders>
