Title: SPAM, the food
Post by: slyinglide on September 19, 2008, 12:01:45 AM
When I was in the Army in the 80's, I became a fan of SPAM, yes the canned meat product.  I never liked it before the Army, but I probably became it's #1 fan while serving in the Army.  I eat the "C" Rations that they had, but then they switched over to the MRE's (meals ready-to-eat).  They would plug me up quicker than a bag of cement, mainly because I was doing a job that I did not have time to heat them up.  So I got hooked on SPAM.  I have learned to cook with spam in a lot of recipies, but does anyone else have a Spam recipie?

I like to cook fried rice with it. MREs took me from 205 to 275/280 in just under four years!

The two words Spam and food should not be used in the same topic......

A past girlfriend of mine was half Asian, her father was American, her mother was chinese and Vietnamese. I was always treated to home cooked meals by her mother who ALWAYS put cubed up spam in her fried rice. I tell ya... it was delicious.

I've never had spam in anything else.

I've heard it's very popular in the Hawaii, maybe google Spam and Hawaii and you'll get some good ones. 
I'm not too fond of it  because it's canned and I avoid all canned foods--yeh, it's weird but I just don't like cans when I can easily get something fresh.

I like it on a salad. Where I come from eating stuff like Spam is just something you do because all the older folks around you ate stuff like that all the time in their day. Pork brains, pigs feet, those pickled eggs no one ever considers touching, squirrel, whatever. Its all good.

I did google "spam", and I found out that Hawaii consumes more Spam than any other state.  Interesting......

I LOVE SPAM (the food, that is)!  I like fried Spam, eggs, hash browns, toast and a glass of milk for breakfast.  It is also wonderful in a cheese omlet.  Also you ought to try slicing  some Spam and put it in a wok with stir fry veggies and rice!  YUM!!!!!!!!!!!  For the health conscious, there is Spam Lite and Turkey Spam.  I like them both.

I have heard of the fondness for Spam in Hawaii.  I believe that both McDonald's and Burger King carry Spam on their menus over there!

TimmJ, that's some "Sly-licious" lunch.
Everything tastes better with a side of Pringles, even Spam.

But what's with the Milkyway??
Being a resident of the great state of peanuts (GA), I suggest you nix the Milkyway for a Snickers bar (peanut heaven).

It's mostly on the breakfast menus in McDonalds and BK....  I had a Spam McMuffin!

Spam is awesome stuff...  I usually get a couple cans every year.  Spammichs, Spam and Eggs, Spam omelettes, etc... MMMMmmmmm.... I think I might throw some spam on the grill tomorrow!

Last year they had a spam contest at the fair for who could come up with the best new recipe. We tried tons of things with spam trying to find just the right one that no one else would think about. We had it narrowed down to spam enchiladas and spam egg rolls. We went with the spam enchiladas and got 3rd place, there were about 3 or 4 people with spam egg rolls there, none of them won.
