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.

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.

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.

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.
tjohn posted Fri, 04 April 2003 at 3:03 AM
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?

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.
