I'm a guy, so no. However I do get weird cravings from time to time. Now I'm wanting to try Native American pemmican, maybe make some rubbaboo stew with it.

I feel ya, last month i had a serious narcotic like craving for a damn Hawaiian punch at 2am, dunno why,,, i hadn't thought about them in years and i try to stay away from sugar water. So I went to 7-11 and got one. killed it it in one long swig before I backed out of the parking spot.

Personally I think that anything made by Armour Star should be avoided at all cost. And mayo should be illegal as well.

Now I do find that Underwood deviled meat products are decent.

mayo is awesome, Miracle whip on the other hand is goblin cum.

Wow, they still make that?? I lived off that stuff in middle school. Those & Nutty Buddies. Those things were like giant Kit-Kits with peanut butter. Ah, sugary memories.

Hawaiian Punch is the bomb. Life would be a little less complete without it.

Cleaning out my pantry I found a can of SPAM left over after I brought a bunch of them late last year. What should I do with it?

Well yes, but how should I fix it?
Fix it? It's spam; it doesn't need cooking. You eat the whole can.:p

Or you could fry it up and serve it with some scrambled eggs. But what's the fun in that?

True, but I'm tired of opening a can of SPAM and just eating it by itself. Maybe I'll diced it up and cook it with some rice, pearled barley, split peas.

Damn this is brilliant
Spam Wellington
It was rumored that Sir Kringlebert Fistybuns, First Earl of Spamfordshire created the Spam Wellington in the early 1990's when his Chef called in dead mere hours before an important dinner party. The foie gras pâté was made, the mushrooms had been duxelled, the pastry was ready to puff, and the sauce bordelaise was burnt.

I went to Hawaii years ago and we ate spam and eggs a day or two for breakfast to save money. Basically, cost of living there is pretty high because they don't have cattle farms there. So we ate eggs, spam, and fish mostly. Spam is a lot like bacon in that when you slice it and fry it, the edges will caramelize nicely. They used to have many varieties of spam, but I never got into that marketing junk. I'd rather just get the original type and add my own spices/seasonings.

I wouldn't say Spam is bad, it is just that you can find pre-cooked sausage that tastes better and has less sodium.

You eat spam because you like spam, not because it compares to sausage. Crispy fried spam is awesome with rice.

Fried spam is delicious to me. Used to eat it on occasion as child. I think I've only had it once in the last 5 years though. One of those things I don't look for when I'm shopping.

That was how I got reacquainted with it. I remembered having it as a kid(cans still had keys on the side), and wanted to try it again. Decided it was one of the most delicious things I could buy for the cupboard, and now I always have at least one can on hand. I get in and out of moods with it where I eat more times than others, but I always want it available.
