I cannot buy the stuff. My hubby and his 4 brothers and sisters were raised by a tyrant Dad who forced them to eat spam and sauerkraut.

I gotta send this to my kids under the heading "It coulda been worse!". Back in the Carter days I stocked up like mad with this stuff - 97c a can. Had a couple of cases "just in case" as I surely though the country would go to Hell.

Fast forward a couple of years and I figured I'd better use the stuff up. We took a 4-week holiday that boxed the Union - up from Oceanside, CA to Alberta, over to Prince Edward Is via the Trans-Canada, down to Disney World in Orlando, FL, then back West to home. Almost every meal we had, you guessed it, SPAM. The kids would start crying when they saw the can. Personally, I love the stuff fried, with anything, but the wife won't buy it and the 40+ "kids" act like Dracula and the Cross if I talk of it.

LOL, My hubby said his brothers and sister would sit at the table all night, try to hide it, and puke.

I think their Dad did it to be mean. Tht was the person he was. He could have made it palatable.

I must admit, my kids would not have eaten this concoction, nor would I have forced them.
