I can’t possible be the only old man who can remember when a can of Spam represented the best meal we’d had in weeks.

That's why I loved it as a kid. Sometimes all we had was bread, butter and sugar. After a week of butter and sugar sandwiches, Spam was a treat.

Now, if it had been my grandfather’s homemade butter on one of my mother’s biscuits (made from stratch) you wouldn’t be complaining.

I remember that, sometimes having corn bread for supper with nothing else, no meat, no vegetable, no gravy, no butter, that kind of life made you think that spam and vienna sausage were high end treats, and I guess they were.
