Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam…is there any food product that’s more divisive than Spam?

When it comes to this American staple, you either love it or you hate it. But it’s actually one of the more intriguing food products out there, with a long, wild history.

Here are six things that you probably didn’t know about this legendary tinned lunch meat.

I like the Mos Burger spam burger too.

[FateAmenableToChange]

I always heard “Salt Packed hAM”

[Mollypitcher1]

Can I have black eyed peas instead, please?
..............................................as long as you eat your turnip greens.

[Mollypitcher1]

Real women do too!

I have a case on hand at home. Need to get more though! My son loves it as well.

It might be okay but I’d temper expectations for jarred stuff.
Once was way, way south La. and bought a jar at Wal-mart.
Not real good but okay on hot dogs, tacos and stuff.

I buy the homemade stuff.

Hmart usually has homemade kimchi along with the state-side produced commercial stuff.
PA has several stores but no idea your geo.

Oh yes ma’am!

[Twinkie]

A couple of slices of bread smeared with REAL MAYO and
a few slices of SPAM. If you won’t eat it; you ain’t really
hungry.

[Army Air Corps]

Same here. I buy it when COSTCO has it on sale.

[onedoug]

Not kosher.

[Mollypitcher1]

LOL. I love southern cooking!

[Carriage Hill]

I'm about 2½ hours west of those places, but will stop at one if I get over that way, someday soon. Thanks.

[COBOL2Java]

Not kosher.

Only in Heaven!

[Carriage Hill]

I eat it all the time; really enjoy local made scrapple from Lancaster Cty, PA.

[barker]

Sliced very, very thin, a little mayo and potato chips.. Chips have to be on, not with, the sandwich.

When MrD plants rye grass seed on our ranch, he mixes some turnip seeds. Then we have contests on who can find the biggest turnip.

[Carriage Hill]

I could and would eat it!

[Mollypitcher1]

Love it!

Back in the sixties I saw a cookbook which boasted that its recipes were reliable for company dinners. It warned of an experience the writer had, of trying a new dish for a company dinner, at which some WWII vets (they were everywhere back then) would be present. She diligently followed the instructions and then tasted the result - and recoiled in horror. “It’s Spam!!!”

My Mom would fry cubes of spam and put it on a toothpick with a chunk of pineapple and a maraschino cherry. That is about the only way I have been able to tolerate spam.
