Oh yeah! The look on my Dad's face when he saw the case of Vienna sausages in my cupboard was priceless. He told me if I needed help with groceries to just tell him. Took me a bit to convince him it was something I enjoyed.
I know you can buy Maple Bacon but I think first time trying this, we would rather use the maple syrup.
I'll take Spam® any day of the week!
Crispy Spam, MAN! Now I'm hungry all over again!
Amen, sista!!

I just saw this on face book, on a "local" or hawaii-based site

spam katsu or cutlets Oh, with some katsu sauce for dipping? … must_try!!!
That's like a grab-it-with-your-fingers and eat-it-with-a-beer kinda dish, imho!
I might have made mention in this thread a ways back, spam is part of my culinary culture. The state of hawaii eats the most spam per capita in america.
I guess Spam is a processed meat, like sausage - I hope I’m in the right forum!
I’ve never had Spam. Ever. As thrifty as mother was, and considering what a poor cook she was (she actually wasn’t a poor cook, she was not a cook at all, and didn’t like to cook), that’s surprising. Maybe something about Spam offended her Jewish upbringing.
So what’s the allure? The price? Is it delicious? What kind of recipes is it used in? Is it as bad for you as cigarettes? Is it good for you at all?
That “Spam” has become a metaphor for unneeded and unwanted info doesn’t bode well for the actual product. But it’s ubiquitous, it’s become a staple in Hawaiian cuisine, and it’s always available. And it’s really REALLY cheap.
Fill me in on this mystery meat! (Is it meat?)
