Spam - anybody eat it?

I have my own horror stories about eating spam as a young married guy with little money. Could be fried, baked with cloves, raw with an onion on a sandwich. I see it on the menus here in the Philippines sometimes.

 

never eaten it untill i moved to the phills, but it's the only one here that dont make me sick. great on a salad sandwich with avacado not butter

 

Ken Kennedy my friend are you truely interested if I ate spam in Jail or are you trying to troll me?? Huh? – I think the mod deleted your post, to answer your question they don’t feed you at all or give you any type of bedding, well that’s in the lockup jail.

 

Spam is a throw-together of words from spiced ham. It was an integral part of British Army emergency rations (aka compo) for donkeys years. It could be eaten cold, fried, sliced, diced, or straight out of the tin if you were desperate. If you had other rations, you didnt bother with it, but it was good to swap with German farmers for eggs and bratwurst. If your grub was limited, and you were bloody hungry and anywhere in the world, it was a god send. Over the years, (a lot of them) I probably buried about half a ton of the stuff on the North German plane. In Borneo and the old Malaya, we used to swap the stuff with anyone for anything !!! and invariably got it !!!

What you get here, under the auspices of Spam, is a reformed, re-hydrated, re-hashed, re-branded tin of junk. It sucks.

 

I'm with you on both counts - spam and corn beef. One exception would be a great Rueben Sandwich.

 

Thinking about great sandwiches, a hot pastrami with swiss cheese, a big sliced dill pickle, on an onion roll with a little spicy mustard would make a fantastic partner for a couple smb's.
