Speaking of Spam, my granddaughter was extremely sick and had spent 3 days alone, sleeping mostly. On Friday she was feeling much better but needed company and I went over. The conversation turned to Lent and sacrifices and she realized that she had eaten a Spam sandwich for breakfast! She asked, pretty sure of the answer, "Is Spam meat?" I told her that it was debatable.

I know you had to be there to see the horror on her face when she realized what she'd done, I just laughed and told her that accidently eating Spam on Friday during Lent wouldn't send you straight to Hell.

I heartily concur that it is not certain just what Spam is. It is protein (I think). I once heard how they made it and the shock obliterated those neurons from my memory.

The poor child! She has Catholic guilt already?
