Hm... ok, it's no more April Fool's day, so... here in Italy I never heard about SPAM really existing. Please, no jokes, is this real? If it is, I want a can of it. Really. S.

It's very real Stefano. In some areas, it's really popular also. Back in a past life, I used to work for an airline. We had a lot of folks who would fly in from the Marshall Islands. They had, as we call them here in the Ozarks, "Ozark Luggage." (Lots of cardboard boxes, plastic garbage bags and such.) Invariably there would be at least one that had broken open. Also invariably, there would be lots of canned goods inside (like we don't have them here, I guess). And, you guessed it...Spam was usually the most popular. At the risk of being an outcast, Spam really isn't that bad. It stands for SPiced hAM. If you get canned ham where you are. And to try to reduce my potential outcast status, I think the commercials they have on tv are really cheesy.

heh, im sure someone could send u can, but spam's real, unfortunatly. Oh, and by the way, i'd like spam spam spam spam baked beans and spam.

Hey, Susan has just promised me she will send me one! :-D Out of curiosity, it's from this food that the SPAM word for, er, internet-spamming is derived? S.

thats rite(i think that gives u a heads up on what it tastes like =P)

Eelie, I'm with you, I like Spam on sliced white bread, lightly cooked (well, every once in a good while anyway). Spam was a major food for the U.S. army during WWll and became fairly popular around the world then. But I didn't know that Spam was derived from "SP"iced h"AM". It tastes pretty good to me but is chuck full of saturated fat and salt among other things.

I like spam lightly browned on toast with a little mustard.:)

My mom used to cook spam in the frying pan in maple syrup. Honest! It was pretty good even, however, it was the store brand of spam and I think it was also imitation maple syrup. We weren't exactly the Rockerfellers. BTW Great pic. Ang

LOL.... Gotta love the spam. Lol....

Used to have spam for breakfast but it was the low salt stuff. Had it with pancakes or eggs. It was quite tasty. Also had it with eggs on a roll. Have not tried it with green eggs this year, would make me sick I fear. Would not try it on a train, sorry got Dr Suess on the brain.

So THIS is what unwanted email looks like. Stefano, you've never tried spam? LOL.

Hmmm, yes Spam is real. Every grocery store has multiple cans of it in different sizes and hi or lo fat varieties. There are even recipes for Spam, like barbecue! Let me know when you get it, and I would gladly walk you thru the cooking process. ;)

Pickle. Gotta have pickle with Spam. And chips, lotsa chips and baked beans. Yum yum.

Always thought of Spam as a sort of processed ham in a can. A little salty, but a low-sodium variety is available. It's best IMO if you slice it thin and fry it brown. Then it can be eaten much as you would fried ham. If you don't have a problem with bologna, you shouldn't have a problem with Spam. :^) Some folks are probably put off by the gelatin it's packed in, but canned ham is packed the same way, basically. Hey, cheap but tasty meat in a small amount with a long shelf life before opening: what more could a bachelor with limited monies and an unchoosy palette ask for?

TJohn probably belongs to an autonomous collacrative whose decisions have to be ratified by a bi-monthly meeting of the............. M.P. & The Holy Grail

tjohn, Do you have anything without spam in it? - TJ

Baked beans, sausage, and spam. That doesn't have much spam in it.

Yep, tjohn, you're right... Bologna is pretty fat, and I adore it :) An Awaiting Stefano

In the UK we have housing estates called spam valley. The reason being that people bought these houses then were so poor that the only thing they could afford to eat was spam. 8) Catlin

Used to have Bologna in school. Nasty stuff with black crunchy things with yellow centers. Lets not mention sloppy joes either. Brings back bad memories.

This is a recipe we've made for years. It sounds weird but it's really good. 1 can Spam, grated 8 oz cheddar cheese, grated 1 large dill pickle, grated or chopped Mayonnaise (or Miracle Whip - my favorite) pepper to taste. Hot dog buns Grate the spam, cheese and pickle. Add enough mayo to make it a spreadable but not to wet. Pepper to taste. Split buns and spread a fairly thick layer of spread on them. Place on cookie sheet and bake in 350 oven for 5-10 minutes. Bake until hot and bubbly. (You can also stuff the spread into pita bread and microwave them for a quick version of this.) This is one of those once or twice a summer things in our house. We don't use a lot of spam (yeah, lots of fat and salt) but it's usually on the shelf.

Hey brycester ...you've memorized that sceen too I see ...what a great movie ....and by the way "There's some lovely filth down here!" lol lmao :o) p.s. Stefano ...count your blessings that you have not tried it!

I'll eat your spam..I love it..
-Same routine, tho it's a short one..;) ah..actually I ate 'Treet' which is a knock-off of Spam, with Velveeta shells and cheese (on the side)..but had to give it up when my arteries hardened into a gelatinous block..;) It's a chunk..of crumbly meat..smothered in a sort of greasy..gelatin. Has to be cooked..;)

as to why anyone would choose spam over real ham evades me, but to each his/her own ;) Spam is actually quite popular in Japan, right up there with overpriced melons and apples.

Death in a tim. 8)

tim=tin

and dont forget that apetizing coating of yack gel that forms on the top THAT PROTECTIVE COATING THAT GIVES SPAM THE SHELF LIFE OF FIFTY THOUSAND YEARS OR MAYBE ITS PURPOSE IS TO NURTURE THE 1% VITAMIN SPAM HAS ITS HEART ATTACK IN CAN DONT DO IT!!!! ROCH222

LOL, the more I read, the more I can't wait to the package to arrive... just drooling to try it at least once! :) S.

LOL, it won't hurt you once...but be very aware that it is highly addictive! Soon you will find yourself begging friends who travel to bring it back for you...then you are lost!! Tres

Attached is a flock of killer sheep hiding at the bottom of my garden....these bas*^.,#~d's are LETHAL! I have to keep a supply of Holy Handgrenades handy.......just in case!!

The Bryster

ROFLMAO! English Kanigit? Maybe you can put those little fury yacks in a can and call it "Sham" Sheep ham! LOL...holy handgrenades. All this talk of Spam made me go out and buy a can...mmm good!

I thought the father smelled of Elderberries..;) yeah, I've watched it a coupla times..;)

Geese, I have to remember back 25+ years for most of this . . . Elderberries? I still remember the Benny Hill Show, though where as a cop he says, "I.R.S.U. ... I.R.S.U. in the name of the law!"

Holding the Holy Hand-Grenade in the left hand, remove the Holy Pin. Then count to 3. The number of the counting shall be 3 and 3 shall be thenumber of the counting. The number of the counting shall not be 2, nor shall the number of the counting be 4. 5 is right out! When the number 3 has been counted and the number of the counting has been 3, throw the Holy hand-Grenade at thine enemy, in so doing that thine enemy shall be smitten with the Holy Hand-grenade and all its Holy power............

"1...2...5" "3, sir!" "3!" I feel vindicated, somehow. So many members who love Monty Python. :^) Such a long thread, LOL.

A wonderful thread, Tjohn... thanx for having started it :) Today I've finally managed to find and download an mp3 version of "Every Sperm Is Sacred"... LOL :) S.
