Spam will never die. It’s a very efficient food.

Historical note: Nikita Khrushchev credited American lend lease Spam with preventing him from starving to death during the Battle of Stalingrad.

It briefly enjoyed popularity in Western Europe more recently when mad cow disease and hoof-and-mouth made people distrustful of their own meats. They looked down their noses at Spam, but were 100% sure it was untainted. Rabbits (which were already popular in some countries there) were also a preferred dish during that time.

Read years ago, we shipped 520,000 tons of SPAM to the Soviets under the Lend-Lease program. That is about 87 million cans of the stuff.
