Spam Musubi from Aloha Eats in Chicago is the way to eat it. Yum.

While I never really considered SPAM to be gourmet fare, It does have the right amount of salt and fat to flavor pinto beans. Both SPAM and pinto beans are easily stored too which makes them both worthwhile as part of an emergency food supply.

Oh man, Cajun fried spam what a treat! Just slice some up, sprinkle freely with cajun spices, toward end of frying top with your choice of cheese and slap a couple of slices between sourdough bread with mustard....YUM!

Sliced Spam, right out of the can, or fried, or baked.

Open a can of pineapple, [slices, chunks, or crushed, doesn’t matter.]

Pour pineapple juice over dehydrated bell pepper and dehydrated onions, let set a few minutes, pour mixture over Spam, then add sweet and sour sauce.

Yummy.

I can't find the bacon Spam here. I went to Amazon to look for it but spotted a luncheon meat cutter and clicked on that. There are two from the same company but the newest one may be a little stronger to cut the meat, so I think I will get that one. Here it is:

Update International LMS-PP Luncheon Meat Slicer
Buy new: $14.99

Why get a cutter? Because I can never get the slices cut the same thickness and it ticks me off. With this little gadget, I can quickly make one pass of the cutter and there they are, all alike - plus, no cut fingers from a knife.

One time not long ago, at my Krogers, I saw Jalapeno Spam and didn't buy it then and later it was gone. I haven't looked in several weeks so I need to do that. All the Spam I have is regular and I want some of the other varieties.

Have any of you eaten the Jalapeno one and the Bacon one? If you have, what do you think of them?

“Diets with high saturated fat may raise one’s risk of coronary heart diseases, and due to this, someone who considers their health often avoids spam. Even more, the fatty substance in pork might get deposited in your body and becomes the root cause for heart attacks and other coronary heart associated diseases.”

I have a feeling that when the SHTF, people are going to get plenty of cardio, so they really won’t have to worry about a high-salt or high-fat diet.

FWIW At my local Sam’s Club the DAK Premium canned hams are actually cheaper than Spam. Lower in fat too. DAK comes out to $2.96/lb while Spam ends up at $3.15/lb.

Sorry, folks. I just hate spam. Course if I get hungry enough, I could eat anything I guess.

However, this jogged my memory. Forty some odd years ago, my Granny gave us a gift of a huge supply of food, because we were moving out of state and very poor.

One of the tastiest items was a quart size can of a whole chicken in broth. I used that chicken for several tasty meals, and the broth made the best homemade noodle soup I ever ate. I can't remember the brand though. I am wondering if I could get a quality product by canning my own, since we have lots of chicken specials now.

This weeks specials at the super market had veggies and beans for less than 40 cents per 1 lb. can, so I stocked up with several cases of the items we like the best to add to our stash. I also had coupons for several varieties of rice to add to that. Day after election, I have 1/2 of stock funds in my IRA liquidated and in a money market/treasury account.

I am going to pull out what I need for the next year now, before taxes go up.

We had a water main break earlier in the week, lasted most of the day, and was completely unexpected. It was very handy to have stored water available to cook and clean with.

Thanks again, Kart, for a good post.
A fair number of Freepers seem dubious of the prepper threads. Maybe they see them as Spam but, rarely a post is logged that doesn't get a few requests for ping list additions. Just curious, how many folks are on your list?
Guessing the number of beans in the jar... 250? Feel free to play along.
