I was introduced to spam as a kid in the 60's and thought the fried spam sandwich my mom served me was great. I asked her if we could have this more often and she said nope. My dad hated the stuff since he had to eat so much of it when he was in WWII.

I’ll give it a go and post results here. I HATE mustard though. Anyone try it with Mayo/Miracle Whip?

My wife will only eat it in sandwich form with white bread and miracle whip.
I’m team mustard.

I am honored that I was responsible for so so spam talk.
Love it or hate it...Murica.
And in these fucking times we need more Murica.

Spam gets a bad rap. It's made from good cuts of pork, not scraps like Armour Treet. Do not get the products confused.

Are you trying to seduce me?

Next time you fire up the smoker, throw a can of Vienna sausage in there (opened of course) . However long you want, its crack.

Holy shit...I'm not sure I could eat that whole thing, but I'd certainly try.

All the Spam talk is making Al nostalgic.  Little Al was taken to the first few Spamarama events in Austin back in the day.  Al's Mom wanted her children steeped in the Austin culture long before it became a thing, as a transplant from New England, she was ahead of her time and we did all things Austin and free.   Spam was also not allowed in Case de Czervik because it was considered food for the poors, so the Spam experience was limited to Spamarama or the occasional friends house that served it, nonetheless it has great memories.  Fun fact, we were the poors.

Slice it long way for the big patty. Give it a good browning on both side. Plain is hard to beat but the habanero flavor is excellent.

Contrary to popular conception, Spam ain't cheap. But if you want some salty pork goodness, it's great.

Uberthin and crispy Spam is crack.

This is still my current dilemma.

Walmart is my closest grocery store, they haven’t had a single can of any variety of Spam except Original or low-sodium since ‘Rona started. No jalapeño, garlic, Tabasco, black pepper, nada.

All this talk of canned meat, what about deviled ham?  My mother sometimes gave that to us smeared on crackers.  I don’t know if this is poor folks food or not.  I recall salty AF though.

I ate two of these last night. Instead of the JD sausage, I had ham. But otherwise, exactly dog. Salud!

I like miracle whip with spam cause it has that sweet taste to go with the saltiness from the spam

Not sure if these have been mentioned. Any reviews?

Had not seen those before.  Intrigued.

I picked up a box of those spam fries recently, still haven't tried them.....need to take care of that.

Somehow have yet to try spam. I’m not particularly against it, don’t avoid it, it just hasn’t occurred yet.

What 3rd world country do you live in?

My mother in law makes a chopped Spam salad, like a ham salad or tuna salad but with Spam instead.  It tastes like poverty, and is delicious.

I celebrate the entire catalog of canned meats/fish.

We do this with Spam and bologna as well. Run it through the grinder with the coarse blades, add chopped onions and sweet pickle relish. Add cumin and lots of celery seed. mix it all with your choice of glue, I prefer Miracle Whip but mayo or Ranch dressing are acceptable too. I like to open a home grown mater and put a big scoop of this in the middle. Makes a great lunch.

Yup, she has a grinder for the sole purpose of making Spam salad, never uses it otherwise.

 

I bought my wife a food processor years ago but she insists on clamping her grandma's old crank grinder to the edge of the countertop and whaling away on just about anything.  Says the texture is so much better. Whatever, it's delicious.

She's not wrong. Food processor =/= grinder.

And.....I'd probably eat that.  I mean, not like a roast chicken or anything, but bet you can make a decent pot of soup with it.

Never eaten the canned whole bird, but I've eaten several times my body weight in Sweet Sue Chicken and Dumplings. They are by far the bestest canned C&D you'll find. No survival bag should be without some.

Yes, that’s one canned chicken gif. There’s another one I was thinking more of.  Less appealing.

Wife away for a couple of days. The boy and I thus selected our own menu. Just some spicy dark with taters and okra.

I appreciate the inspiration.  I'm going to go with some Earl Campbell hot links instead of the Jimmy Deans though.
