It’s a lot like those raunchy White Castle hamburgers.

White Castle...better than the colon cleansers they sell on those infomericals

SPAM has the perfect amount of salt and fat to cook nicely with pinto beans. It has a strudy, storeable container and also keeps forever without refrigeration. Even if one doesn’t consider it gourmet fare, it’s a very good thing to have in ones emergency provisions (along with pinto beans).

Is their CEO the same Hormel who is a flaming Soros-type liberal faggie whom B.J. Klintoon named as our ambassador to Belgium or wherever? I mean, he lisped his snippy defiance at Senate Republicans during confirmation hearings.

Reason enough to stick to the WalMart version or the Food Lion version.

Spam is the State food of Hawaii.

Yeah, it's everywhere on the Islands. In fact, I tried a Spam dish at one of those L&L Hawaiian Barbeque fast-food joints. Overall, the food there is okay - but I'd skip the Spam Musubi. Basically a chunk of grilled Spam and a wad of sticky white rice, wrapped up in a hunk of seaweed. It may just be my individual palate, but the taste of Spam just doesn't go with seaweed - or vice versa.

Otherwise, I like the stuff - especially dunked in an egg wash, rolled in bread crumbs and pan fried. It's an angioplasty on a plate, but damn, it's tasty.

The gay Hormel you mention doesn’t run Hormel foods but is a grandson of the founder

>>>Austin, Minn., (where Hormel makes Spam) has 13 restaurants with Spam on the menu, including Johnny’s.<<<

Now that I get to go to Austin weekly, I’m going to stop at Johnny’s....

That combo has lots of protein and good quality carbohydrates in the pinto beans
I'm sure it could sustain life for a few months if you had vitamin C pills

LOL! No! I use a program called Mastercook. It's searchable by any number of parameters. I have 60K recipes in it.

LOL

THe iofficl shelf life of SPAM is

(wait for it)

infinity.

AS long as the package is intct, it has no exp date. All Hormel products are that way.

In Alaska’ SPAM and Sailor Boy pilot bread of the “Stuff Of Life”. You can leave them in your cabin forever and they are as good as the day you brought them out.

MMm-mmm-good-ness

Just googled Mastercook. That looks pretty cool. Years ago, I bought a program called “Dinner at 8” (same idea — recipes, searchable, it even combined a shopping list for you). Unfortunately, the software was outdated within a year or two and wouldn’t run on any of the newer operating systems. So, I resorted to good old word files, organized in folders. It’s searchable and does the trick.

In about 1998, I actually wanted to set up a website for recipes and do something similar. I wish I had done it then. I still haven’t seen anything as good as the framework I laid out that could easily have sustained itself with quality advertising.

I've used Mastercook for years. It also does shopping lists. Recipes are scalable and it gives nutrition information. Unfortunately it won't work with my new Vista machine but I have an XP machine as well so that is my recipe machine.

One good thing about MC is the newer versions have a tool that allows you to collect recipes from the web by highlighting portions of the reciped, click on the title of the portion (title, ingredients, directions, etc) and then just load them into the program.

Hmmm... that would certainly be handy for converting all of the recipes that I have in my personal cookbook (word files). I only have a few hundred recipes, so it wouldn't be too tough. I may have to puchase MC one of these days.

As to PC's, I'm keeping my old Windows 2000 laptop as a permanent emergency machine for old software and programs.
