I have to admit I'm surprised by the responses, I expected way for more 'hell no's'.

Love the stuff. Grew up on it.

But... stopped eating (not liking) it when 1) I finally read the nutrition lable and 2) saw how it was made on the Food Network.

Last night they covered hot dogs on "How It's Made"
Sure looks nasty. My youngest daughter loves that show, and she likes hot dogs, but about thirty seconds in, she said "I don't want to watch this part any more" and went off to work on a project.
 
When I was kid, my parents kind of struggled. But we were never that desperate to have Spam.
Lots of mac and cheese, and lots of Steakums. I kind of want to buy some steak-ums for memories sake.

Later in college, my buddies and I tried Spam a few times for the hell of it. It isn't that bad if you put some thought into preparing it. But that was a decade ago.
So this week, it looks like Spam and Steakums will be on my shopping list.

I have tried it... it is basically cheap as heck processed fatty-bologna like meat inside a disgusting petroleum jelly-like insulating layer inside the can. I couldn't even eat past the first bite of the meat, so I gave it to my roomie who fried a bit of it and ate it on a sandwich with miracle whip... I still gag reflexively when I think of that whole horrible memory.

sauce served in a Provencale manner with shallots and aubergines
garnished with truffle pate, brandy and with a fried egg on top and spam.
Wife: Have you got anything without spam?
Waitress: Well, there's spam egg sausage and spam, that's not got much spam in it.
Wife: I don't want ANY spam!
Man: Why can't she have egg bacon spam and sausage?
Wife: THAT'S got spam in it!
Man: Hasn't got as much spam in it as spam egg sausage and spam, has it?
Vikings: Spam spam spam spam (crescendo through next few lines)
Wife: Could you do the egg bacon spam and sausage without the spam then?
Waitress: Eewwww!

God, I freaking LOVE fried spam. Jesus christ, I love that stuff.

Unfortunately, I can't have any right now because I'm on a diet. But one of my favorite things to eat was a toasted bagel piled high with spam and cheddar cheese. Might have something to do with my need for a diet. 😉
 
this thread makes me want to buy some Spam to try it. I've never had Spam.
Just looked up the nutritional facts... I'm bummed as it seems to be void of carbs. I'm gonna do some carb loading and was thinking it would be a good cheap food. Guess I was wrong.

Let me tell you about absolute ownage:

1. Make fresh white rice.
2. Heat up skillet to HIGH with generous amount of vegetable oil
3. Slice Spam thinly (not too thin, about 1/8")
4. Pan fry those fuckers until outside turns beautifull crispy and scarred

Serve with rice. Good stuff. Add kimchi on the side if you'd like.

AWESOME

Adding Kimchi to anything is a crime against humanity. That stuff is not food, it is toxic waste.
