Hey! I like Spam. :-)

I ate enough of it when I was a kid and Mom and Dad needed to streeeeetch the budget a little. (Or more than a little. We didn't have SNAP back then......)

It's good baked, with a little bit of clove on top. Or, in a "ham salad" sandwich.

I ate a lot of spam back when Mom went back to the city to school, and Dad fed us 5 kids with his more limited cooking skills. We had a garden, and from that got corn, asparagus, potatoes, tomatoes, lettuce, peas, beans, onions, squash, pumpkins, carrots, beets, strawberries, rasberries, grapes, ruttabaga, and chives. When I was 15, the garden was my summer job. We grew enough for vegetables all year round, and made wine from the grapes. Kept me out of trouble, but gave me time to hike in the mountains and play golf.

Eisenhower once wrote a letter to the company which made Spam thanking them for producing their product during WWII. He said there were times when it tasted very good, but that his only complaint was that they provided so much of it.

Spam is also a word in Russian, as is Studebaker (means truck).
