How many of ya'll like SPAM?
Me, love it. But, I have to boil it to bring out all that salt/sodium. Just too damn salty.
For whatever reason, it seems less salty when uncooked.
Thoughts/personal recipes?
SPAM is great. I was raised on the stuff and my kids now are SPAMmers. My wife is not convinced.
We experimented with alternative flavors not long ago and decided that jalapeno spam makes the best sandwiches. Lately I never see that flavor, but can get Maple SPAM which is very good.
For baseline, I almost always use the low-sodium one. I don’t mind salt, but SPAM seems to have more than needed.
Always fried. Usually in a sandwich on toast with mayo and/or ketchup maybe cheese.
For breakfast in a fried egg sandwich.
Sliced sideways it goes perfectly on english muffin.
That’s how I like it.
Try my family’s old spam casserole recipe. Thin sliced spam, thin sliced russet potatoes, (approx 1:3 or 1:4 ratio to your liking) toss together with some melted butter, put all into a greased casserole dish, cover and bake at 375 until tender. The last few minutes uncover and let the top brown. The potatoes need salt, so it balances the saltiness out perfectly. It’s surprisingly good! We serve with a country dinner, cornbread, beans, vegetables, whatever. You can also add your favorite low-sodium seasoning blend as well.
I used to cut it with a cheese slicer then hard fry it in a pan and make spam, lettuce and tomato sandwiches on toast.
They have a reduced salt version. If you buy the bacon spam version you won’t care about the salt. Slice it thinner?
I would rather eat scrapple.
When I had My Repair Shop I had a new Customer that brought His Rolls Royce in for Me to look over it and tell Him what it was going to need in the way of repairs and what the regular service was going to cost. I opened up the Glove Compartment to get the Service Records and it had a new jar of Grey Poupon sitting in it.
I loved it as a kid. I never noticed it was salty.
That’s a great story!
(I love Grey Poupon, but not on SPAM.)
Grew up on cold spam sandwiches during WWII. I can’t afford to buy Spam now because I can find lots of meat choices on sale for less than SPAM.
hOW CAN THIS BE?
My grandmother was Swedish. We did Sylta.
I wonder how many times he had heard the line, I bet he had fun with a lot of people
Hmmm, ComputerGuy......gotta be a nerd. Or, maybe a GEEK?
Great idea!
spam & maple syrup

You are right. Spam makes a great base for āHam Saladā. My Mom did this recipe without telling anyone to gauge family reaction. We all thought it was very decent ham salad. Then she sprang the true content on us. She liked to do this sort of thing for laughs. Fact of the matter is it tastes better and has more flavor than some ordinary hams when used as a ham salad base.
