Since SPAM is just an acronym for "Shoulder Pork And haM" - just think canned ham!
Yep, fried SPAM alone, or with sauted onions, or cheese, makes a great sandwich (shaved thin and cooked with onions and bell peppers and topped with Velveta you get a Philly SPAM steak sandwich). You can grate it and make a Denver omlet. Shredded or cubed with onions, green bell peppers, and cubed potatoes (with some eggs naturally) makes a nice fritata. It even makes a decent sweet-and-sour pork dish.
The Hawaiian's are the master SPAM'ers ... the use the stuff for everything!

I need Spam every couple months to keep my joints lubricated. I just pan fry it and put it between buttered toast.

I can't eat it that way either. However I do slightly brown it before adding canned peaches or pineapple. If you fry it till crisp it is more like eatin a piece of salt that looks like meat. Big Boys has salt that looks like bacon...if you know what I mean.

I grew up in southern MN about 35 miles from the Hormel plant. My neighbor across the street couldn't find a job locally, so he commuted to Austin and worked for Hormel. I asked him what went into Spam and he said "You don't want to know!" Nevertheless, I continued to eat it then and I still need an occasional Spam fix now.

Gawd! How I remember eating that stuff and actually liking it!! My grandmother was the cook in our 3 generational family(my mother worked-unheard of in the late 40's-50's). I remember Granny dipping slices of Spam in egg then in flour and frying it in our black iron skillet. Not a bad meal at the time.

Spam preparation
I throw it, still in the unopened can, into an outside, in-the-ground, burning wooden fire, and run like &(*&%$(*&( before it explodes. It makes wonderful entertainment. (this is not a recommended manner of cooking, just an expression of how much I like that stuff)
