SPAM
I do not eat spam but I know, from previous threads, that I am in the minority, as a lot of fellow members do eat spam. Should there be a SPAM recipe forum? Shall we take a vote, is that ok  :?:

I think the rule should be....
No talk of politics, religion and spam.
Either you love it or you hate it and everyone is passionate about their preference. Just my opinion.

I understand wasabi, but food is the topic here, and I do not like everything posted here in the food department and I am certain no one likes it all. It was just an idea, two votes, 1 for 1 against, tie.

I'm neutral on liking/hating Spam the canned ham product, though HATE email spam... :)
I wonder if there is enough out there to warrant a forum of its own...just a thought.
Though if there WERE a forum, I would go take a look to check it out (I sometimes have turkey Spam on hand as an emergency when I'm lazy) :)

I love spam! I don't see the need for a new forum though.

Every once in awhile I will make a SPAM sandwich. I do have one casserole recipe that is made with SPAM. But that is about my limit of eating SPAM. Those of you who don't like SPAM can substitute ham.
Spam Divan Bake
1 lb. broccoli florets
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon onion powder
ÂĽ teaspoon dry mustard
1½ cups milk
1 – 12 oz. can Spam, sliced
4 cheese slices or 4 oz. shredded cheddar cheese
Cook broccoli in a small amount of boiling salted water. Melt butter. Blend together flour, onion powder, and dry mustard. Stir in milk. Cook over medium heat, stir until mixture thickens and boils. Add cheese and stir until cheese melts. Arrange broccoli in a single layer in buttered 12”x8” baking dish. Pour half of the sauce over broccoli. Overlap Spam slices over the broccoli. Pour remaining sauce over the top. Bake at 425º for 20-25 minutes or until bubbly.

lol wasabi - I like your idea!!!
The reason I say no spam forum is because it's just another - sort of - meat. Probably more pork than anything or maybe totally pork "products".
If we can't get a Tips and Techniques forum do you really think we'd stand a chance at a spam forum???? LOL Next thing you know those craxy people in England would want a Haggis forum (hey kyles!!!!)
