For those who don't remember, this started a while ago in this same Forum when, after a thread about spamming, TJohn used all his irony to post a SPAM can rendered in Bryce.

Being Italian and all, I thought that SPAM was a mere Monty Python invention subsequently quoted by the internet nerds and entered in the common lingo... to my awe, I discovered that... it really existed! So Susan (eelie) offered to make me taste this beauty! :)

And, after a long sea, ocean and air travel, the package arrived this morning in Italy :) I just can't wait to try it, but I really couldn't open it before giving you the proof that this really happened! Oh, people, do I love this Forum! ;-)

Sorry, I don't have a digital camera, so this is a scanned picture of my very hand clutching the very thing itself!

Thanks again Susan!!! :)

Stefano

yes--spam, spreadable ham--do you have any plans for it? people hate both types of spam here.

You are too funny! :o) And you're ever so welcome. You know you'll have to post your opinion now don't you? If no one else wants to know what you think, I do! Have fun with it and enjoy. Susan

Cool, let us know what you think and also how you prepared it. Thats very important too. I just may have to buy me a can, haven't had it in ages. Ang

Same here Ang, I love spam! MMMmmmmm

No man, SPAM is spiced ham. SPICED HAM. Not spreadable...jebus. Besides, i love spam.

Deviled ham is the spreadable ham but it never got famous thru a monty python song, lol. Two many syllables I guess.

I'll eat your spam, I love it!..spam spam spam spam..;)
-The Sketch, Monty Python Treet tastes better, but it's a heart attack in a can..;)

And don't forget spam.com for all your Spam facts! They were running a contest not long ago too. Enter and treat your neighborhood to a Spam party if you won. Much as I like Spam, I just couldn't see having a Spam neighborhood party. :oD

spiced ham, spreadable ham, whats the difference? Its always going to be spreadable ham in my mind because this one time it was left out in the heat of the sun too long, and well, became spreadable :(

Bloody Vikings!

Scanning innocent Spam!!!...LOL that's great!

I just love frying and then on a sandwich with Mayo, Lettice an Tomato.

Yeah, woodhurst, spicy ham. Get it right, man! Great, now I'm hungry. I wonde what "only in Italy" food Stefano could send us? ;-)

Stefano: Now you will know the joy that is Spam! :^D

ummmm, Spam my favorite!, on rye bread with dijon mustard....also makes a decent ham salad too!

OK, hubby brought up something for all you government conspiratist's, Spam, Surplus Potted Animal Meat, eeeewww!

I used to eat spam but since I've now got raised cholestorol I think I'd have a heart attack if I ate it again. Zhann that description sounds disgusting. yuck Catlin

Yeah, I thought so too! Leave it to a man to come up with that...;]

Wondering...what other kind of meat is there? Tres

Don't even go there....seriously!

Spam = Sort of, Possibly, Almost Meat.

Hey, if people eat beef jerky or Slim Jims, they can't complain about Spam. :^)

Just watch your fingers and thumb when you open the tin!

Hey tjohn I eat plenty of jerky, but will not touch spam. I make my own jerky and know exactly what goes into it. I believe the meat ingredients on the spam label to be quite ambiguous.

LOL..how funny. Eat it!

Hey, don't knock Spam, it's Hawaii's state meat, gourmet and everything...;p

Sorry just got to do it...are you ready...you sure....ok then Scan spam, scan spam, scan spam..... Luverly Spaamm.....(well you know the rest Dave

That's incredible. I made a pause in the work to see if Susan answered to my message and found 28 (twenty eight!) answers! Oboy, SPAM must be really a thing up there!!! I had it... but I will leave you with the maximum suspence... 'til I post the result of this experience in another, dedicated thread :) Sidenote: Do the guyz at Corel know that we Brycers are so incredibly funny people? Not only we can render marvels, but we're also good company... Love ya all... S.

I was beginning to wonder if you would ever come back, thought maybe you loved spam so much you ran to the airport to catch a flight to a country that has spam! LOL. Can't wait to hear how you cooked it and liked(?) it. Ang

I liked it a lot! So much that I posted a chronicle in a separate thread... :)

Lets hope it doesn't become an addiction.

Well I 've just had a beautiful bowl of ricicles.......!

LOL, this is a wonderful link! Laughed my head off!

SPAM! the very first meatlofe that i have eaten in my entire life... DC its hard to believe that you don't have spam there... i mean we have it here in the philippines, and i dunno why you dont have it there... but anyway its tasty and salty and well im still addicted to it! nuff said... dinner of spam tonight!

Italian culinary arts have just been knocked back years! There is a Spam club here at work. They meet every other month and host a potluck. Every dish must include Spam! I ate it as a kid, but haven't had it in years. Might have to try it on a camping trip maybe...
