Spam-a-Lot

Growing up in hawaii, damn you better love spam. I may not eat it as much as you do, but i can eat it. Here though its crazy expensive going for about $2. back home i could find it on sale for 99cents sometimes so i don't even get it that much. i normally make a spam musubi out of it or use it for my saimin, fried rice or fried noodles. i normally like it fried not baked and normally with something. when its fried i like it cut thin and crispy. good for breakfast with eggs and rice. but you know what, i've never eaten spam in a sandwhich though...damn this is the 2nd spam question i answered today, now i want a musubi but don't have any spam left!

I have eaten spam once, and it was okay with tomato soup, other then that, I just don't like it. I agree with the people who say it's mysterious. However, I have ate and liked liver pudding (also called liver mush) and it is delicious! I have fried it and put it on a sandwich, or have just eaten in cold, or eaten it cold on a sandwich.. But Spam? No Thanks, Ma'aM.

I just asked my husband to comment on this because he is almost an expert on Spam, since it was popularized when he was an airman in World War II. He says "I love it!" He adds that he has endured much ridicule because of his favorable impression of spam, even though he hung out with the kind of people who serve up hot dogs and call them rolled roast. And in the mess hall they had another name for chipped beef on toast which cannot be mentioned here, but hubby chose Spam over that any time. I have to admit that some of the ridicule came from me, because years back I was not exactly an advocate for spam, but three things have worked to change that: 1) Hubby has corrupted me, and 2) There is no question but that they are making it better these days, with more wholesome contents and much nicer flavors, and 3) Now it is just so convenient to pick up a can at the Dollar Store and not have to worry about it spoiling if we take the long way home! I think that Armour Treet tastes a lot better than Spam and I confess to putting it in my potatoes au gratin from time to time. I don't fry stuff like that, but have on occasion used it to perk up our much loved cabbage rice and vermicelli side dish, although usually I use Italian (or Polish) sausage in that, or chicken. You are making me hungry!

I like Spam ok, but I do not eat it very often. It is too salty for me. The only way I have ever eaten it is sliced and then cooked until brown on both sides on 2 slices of bread with some mayo.

i too loved spam before. but now i don't like it any more. i don't like the taste. before i keep buying cans of spam and i eat it every day. but i get tired of it eating it every day. but it was so easy to prepare and fry. with just slittle oil needed.

I also like Spam but fan fry it and eat it with rice. I haven't tried the lite ones and never tried baked either. But my husband doesn't like it because he said that its not overly healthy and full of preservatives. And I don't think it's gross I think its yummy, lol. By the way, my husband has just told me that the place where the most Spam per person per year is eaten is Hawaii!

i love spam too! i havent had it in many many years though. personally i always loved it lightly pan-fried and then doused with worchestershire sauce..ooh with mash potato's!! OR..on lightly toasted english muffins and a fried egg on top! yum! dang..that sounds really good right now too. im gonna have to see if my grocery store even sells Spam. i dont recall seeing it there before.

I think you are living the perfect life. Watching the sunset and eating spam sandwich does sound like heaven or paradise to me. Me? I can eat spam without diminishing it. Bring on the fat and the sodium. I don't like it lite. I like it like it should be, meat and fat. Cheers!!

I have never been a spam person I do believe I have tried it before and I could not stand it,it was so nasty,and I do not see how people can eat it,one of my friends is so obsessed with spam that he can not get enough of it,and I think he is crazy,I have tried treat meat before and I think it is like spam,but it is not as bad as spam but I still could not see myself eating it,because it is not a food that appeals to me.

Oh I like spam but I like it fried When I was still going to school I use to pack lunch some spam and rice and my classmates loved it too! My mom cooks a lot so that I can share it with my friends at school. We also cook spam cut into cubes sauteed with green peas, onions and garlics and then sauced with lots of tomato catchup. This meal is best served with fried rice and best eaten at breakfast. Try it! I'm getting hungry now hehe. Ciao!

Hi anne! I'm just not sure what to say to this. I hate spam. I did eat it as a kid when I went to my grandmother's house. My grandfather liked it. Whenever I saw that can I would cringe. I thought it tasted gross. But, I guess to each his own. If you like it it's ok with me. I just don't and wouldn't try it again ever. I guess I'm just surprised to hear you say that you like it, yet love it and would eat it every day. That's not something that I would think anyone would like to eat everyday. But, I will leave you to your spam and to your enjoying it.

Actually, I have never eaten Spam. I don't like how it looks or smells, though, so I don't think that is going to happen anytime soon! What does Hawaii have to do with Spam? I mean, I know that there is some connection because when we went there my brother had some at McDonald's or something.

spam sandwich and a cup of tea-delicious-I love it!

I love Spam, in fact i ate them just now. In my place there is spam sold but they are a little expensive (probably because of the inflation). I like they spicy one. It gets me happy. I like it on fried rice and noodles with soup!

SaintAnne, Basically, they are what we would call it canned pork luncheon meat. Over the years I have tried many brands Spam, Tulip, Maling and what not. I find that Spam is a little salty and soft on its texture for my liking. I prefer Maling and I would encourage you to try this brand if you can get a hold of it. The taste, texture and saltiness are just right and whether you steam, stew, fry or eat it right out of the can I can assure you a different experience. So do have a go at it and let me know what you think of it.

Nah, I am not a fan of spam. I do remember that my mother used to fry it for sandwiches, and I thought they were pretty good, but I have never even bought any of it. I normally do not like to eat anything that contains ingredients I can not identify, hehehe.
