/suddenly thinking of the SPAM Vikings
;D
I like SPAM, when done properly.
SPAM – the marmite of the meat world. You either defend it to the death love it or you would need tying down in a chair to get even a morsel to pass your lips.
But, SPAM is not so scary, despite its strange sounding name. The term SPAM actually derives from spiced ham. Imagine how different life could have been if it were christened Spiced Ham in a Can. Everyone would have nodded their heads and said ‘of course, spiced ham in a can…how lovely.’ Instead, many spit out the word ‘SPAM’ in horror.
But, remember o ye haters of SPAM, this is a meat that SAVED everyone in the war. OK, maybe that’s a bit of a push, but really, without SPAM everyone would have starved. It was one of the most important army rations, so without it, the soldiers wouldn’t have had the strength to lift themselves out of the barracks.
Do you really want to hate on a food product that saved lives?
