The "spam" is vegan, a meat-free alternative developed by OmniFoods, a Hong Kong-based food producer and social enterprise.

I replaced Spam with kielbasa in all the old standbys I grew up on. Cheaper, and better.
so when I come and she gives me a kiss, she’s really smelling my breath?
It’s handy when you’re in the woods hunting, camping or hiking. Best over a campfire, especially cubed and placed at the end of a stick like a marshmallow.
I prefer bratwurst.......it’s SO HEALTHY. LOL
Spam is delicious in some Hawaiian dishes like loco moco and musubi.
They are sneaky that way. ;) avoid girls that eat kimchee, I think you’ll be OK...
I’m having spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, baked beans, spam, spam, spam, and spam.
I thought SPAM was already meat-free? ;)
A few weeks ago it took an equally long time on Stonehenge thread to get a Spinal Tap post.
The pandemic has weakened us. We need to do better. But thank you for doing your part.
Only 36 posts to get to that? ;)
I keep my Spam in the pantry beside the beans in a can..
My Spam is packed in a closet with a chorus of Vikings.
