I like Spam but only as something to flavor other things such as potatoes. Not too good just by itself. Well, that's the idea. It's not a T-Bone, Ribeye, or NY Strip.

my 79 year old mother who already lived through the great depression was shopping with me the other day and started loading her cart up with “spam”
I looked at her questioningly and she answered “its for the depression”
um hmmm!

I wouldn’t call it rich but we were well off.
We didn’t have to scrimp on anything.

I’m not really surprised about this demonstration of affection for Spam. It leaves me suffused in a warm glow. Thanks to all for your recipes, I salivate.

LOL—Yes, you’re right about that. Those things sluice through so fast it is always wise to be sure a rest room is—as my proctologist says—within easy reach.

Thanks for the recipe. I think I’ll try it.

Oddly enough, Hawaii consumes the most Spam per capita of all 57 states. In the convenience stores there, they sell it as sushi.

My mother used to send me to school every day with a Spam sandwich with mayo. One morning we were out of mayo so she buttered the bread instead. The taste combination was so vile I remember being mad at her for the remainder of the day and complaining to her that night. I haven’t been able to eat spam since and that was about 1950.

Wow, I didn’t know you could use duct tape with Spam.

I was waiting for this. I can’t believe it took 23 posts to get there.

I cut my finger the other day and it was bloody and wrapped it in duct tape same as that sushi! Is that stuff sushi?
Did you know that duct tape is now made with an anti-bacterial adhesive!

For my money, I look for pork butt that is currently selling with frequency at, or around, $1.00/lb. When pork goes back up, pork trimmings can be had for under $1.50/lb. It is a very simply task to convert the pork into the most delicious, nutritious and lean sausage youve ever eaten. As a matter of fact, I just finished smoking about 15# of Kielbasa last night (well, actually 50/50 venison and pork). Trust me, this is sausage to kill for.I've eaten this hybrid sausage. Venison is always dry and lacking fat so you make a sausage that is 50% pork otherwise it is inedible except to space aliens

That’s seaweed, not duct tape wrapped around the sushi.
Duct tape is good for lots of things.

Venison is dry and inedible if the cook mistreats the meat. In sausage making, there are several ways of producing a moist and juicy sausage with less than 10% fat - and that’s less than extra lean hamburger in the stores.

Love Spam, take a chunk, push in a few garlic cloves, wrap it in bacon and bake it at 375 for 35 minutes.
Mmmmmm......

Really? That is good to know.
Field expedient bandages just got safer.
