SPAM. To be or NOT to be?

I've got a Spam story: When I was young my aunt married a native Hawaiian and we use to go visit them during the summer and one thing I remembered is that he use to make us Spam sushi (The Spam is cooked but it is just wrapped like sushi in rice and seaweed). He died a couple years ago from a heart attack, possibly spam related. Anyway, when I was pregnant last year all I could think about was that stupid Spam sushi. I actually cried over it for two days before my husband found a Hawaiian restaurant about an hour away from us that made it. They must have thought we were crazy because we ordered two huge to-go boxes full of it and it's all I ate for the next couple of days. Looking back on it, I'm a little disgusted with myself about it.

Another wtfmeat favorite of mine is Vienna sausages. They are so good fried and cut up in tomato soup.

So wrong...

Spam is fine, as long as its the low sodium version. Little cubes of it mixed in with hash browns can be really good.

That sounds good!

I agree!

I was raised on Spam. Actually, that might explain a lot.

We ALWAYS use the low sodium stuff! And I've never thought of doing it with hashbrowns--that's genius! Hey, BackupBella, I bet the cheesy kind would be good for that, too!

I'm hungry, guys. I need to find a little drooly emoticon.....

Just into, um, goats?

I had goat jerky once. It was tasty, but Spam is more versatile. :wink:

No, really! It was good! So is marlin jerky--but it's a little rubbery.

I do like me some jerky. I've had deer jerky before. There that is close... HA!

Hmm...I wonder if you could stick Spam in a smoker and make Spam jerky?

JenHow · **Posted:** Thu May 01, 2008 1:48 am

Things that make you go hmmmmm.....

Jerky's good stuff. Not so great for the sodium-intake, but excellent as a substitute for biting nails when reading suspenseful books.

I can't believe how many people love spam... Ha ha. I haven't had spam in forever. We had it all the time growing up My mom loved it. and viana sasages too. That recipe with the pinnapple actually sounds really good. I think im going to have to try it and see how it goes over. Of course I don't think I could tell my hubby its spam he might freak but my kids are too young to realise what im feeding them... Interesting notion.
