Spam is emergency chow, I’ve had Spam with pineapples and sweet and sour sauce and it was quite good, but I’d hate to live on the stuff.

This being Dec. 7th, I should mention I had an uncle who was on Guadalcanal during the battle for the island, all they had was Spam, and Pineapples to eat, when the war was over he never would touch either of them again.

I like Span sandwiches, but can’t afford them at the going rate of $3.20 per pound.

So I buy a complete smoked ham on sale for $.79 to .$99 per pound and make do.

Why in the world is this canned meat scrap dish so expensive?

Not to hijack a thread but to this day my dad will not eat mutton or navy beans. Spent the war on a Navy tug going from Portland Maine to Portland, Oregon. That’s mostly what they got to eat.
