“I remember Nikita Krhuschev (I have no idea how to spell that name) said he would have starved to death during WWII if it had not been for Spam.”
...that’s how Spam got started in our family...she and I ate it while my Dad was overseas in the Pacific....I’ve got a couple of fresh cans tucked away in the pantry right now along with a sack of silver dollars and an AK-47....you never know.
I like Spam tho not really really well. It is good if not eaten too often. I think a steady diet of it would quickly get old.
A friend of mine who served in the Pacific during WWII always says that Spam won the war, not the Manhattan project:~))
Think about it. All those GIs wanted some meat --- any meat, and canned meat was the only way to do it.
My friend George is 84 years old now. He still eats Spam and likes it, (and still drinks Jim Beam ... and likes that even better, along with a good cigar).
But he says their ain't nearly as much lard in the Spam now as in the old days when he was flying off the deck of the USS Wasp to fight the Japs.
I love that guy. He's a national treasure.
