What, no "Spam lite" or "Turkey Spam"!!!

**Ducky** · 04-17-06, 10:05 PM

Well, you know.. I was kind of busy. My adoring public doesn't like leaving me alone.

I hope the pics don't go public!

Has anyone here ever eaten spam. I have and don't care for it but my DH loves it. Weirdo.

**Norm357** · 04-17-06, 10:15 PM

SPAM is good eats. Fry it hard, smear some mayo on white bread, slap on the SPAM, and enjoy. YUMM!

**Bosco3379** · 04-17-06, 10:19 PM

I have never even seen real spam before

**Ducky** · 04-17-06, 10:21 PM

I rather like it crumbled and fried, then drained and mixed with rice.

I've never eaten it before. I prefer to eat meat that wasn't processed from the left over parts from a bunch of different animals.

SPAM = SPiced hAM. Hence SPAM. One animal. Pig.

If I didn't know any better I'd say you were my DH.

**Norm357** · 04-17-06, 10:28 PM

I just realized I know way to much about SPAM.

Well, you learn something every day. I thought it was a Brit thing from WWII. Where's it from then Norm?

Norm357 says:

SPAM may be famous now, but it wasn't always that way. Fact is, SPAM hails from some rather humble beginnings.

Flash back to Austin, Minnesota, in 1937.

You're right. There isn't much here, except for an ambitious company called Hormel.

These good folks are about to hit upon an amazing little recipe: a spicy ham packaged in a handy dandy 12-ounce can.

J. C. Hormel, then president, adds the crowning ingredient: He holds a contest to give the product a name as distinctive as its taste.

SPAM soars. In fact, in that very first year of production, it grabs 18 percent of the market.

Over 65 years years later, more than 6 billion cans of SPAM have been sold.

Props to SPAM.com (seriously!)
