When I left the service, I swore I would never eat Spam again. To this day, I haven’t.

It's just the opposite for me. In Vietnam we often had Spam on saltine crackers for lunch. That was our only choice for lunch for weeks at a time! When I came home my wife and I didn't have much money so she fried Spam and served it with beans. We don't have it any longer but would eat it if it was served to me.

Ditto me that....the mess halls at Camp Pendleton in '66 and '67 served that crap in some sort of "fried" state at least once a week.

I never had to eat spam in the service but had it at home plenty as a child. After I got out of the Army, however, I couldn’t eat anything that looked like the Ham and Lima Beans that came in C-rations! More grease in those than we had in the track bearings! I actually like Spam for some uses but not for a steady diet. I used to use it when camping when younger.
