Spam: do you eat it?

[Mikey]

Fried Spam, mayo and tomato sandwiches are good

I love it fried in teriyaki sauce, than placed on rice wrapped in seaweed.

It is almost but not quite entirely unlike ham. It has some similarities to those canned hams you see around the holidays. For me, it is mostly a salt and grease taste and texture. Two hours later a slight queasiness. I remember enjoying it when I was much younger but I don't seem to be able to process that anymore.

Spam Salad

We got in late tonight after taking Mom to the eye doctor in Houston. So we decided on salad. I just ate a veggie salad while boyfriend decided to heat up one of the Spam singles to his:

Just thought of another Spam yummy...

Use your cheapo box cheese grater and grate up some Spam.

Mix it with some raw ground beef and finely grated slightly sautéd onions.

Add salt, pepper, a lil garlic powder and your favorite spaghetti sauce.

Bake...

HEAVEN !!!

Next morning leftovers are great for meatloaf and mayo sandwiches

I had that and they called it "SPAM Musubi". Hawaiian dish. Is that what you call it?

I believe thats it. Used to eat it all the time at a Hawaiian diner in WA. One day years later got a hankering for it.

Decided to try making it myself, the rest is history.

Spam and rice is great!!

[Mikey]

They actually make a teriyaki flavored Spam

It's pretty good although a little too sweet for my taste

I used to. I found the fastest way to clear a table to myself was eating sardines with V8. That’ll clear a room.

I may have to try that one...

I'm guessing you cut the SPAM into little chunks and mix it with white rice?

Do they sell lightly-salted Spam?

I do like the flavor, but can’t take the saltiness of the regular one, too much.

Browning and caramelizing it on a pan like a hash brown is the way to go.

They sell a lower sodium version, but maybe boiling it in water first for 5 to 10 minutes might help it be a bit less salty?

Boiling Spam might melt the bloody thing though…



But I’ll give the lower sodium a try. Thanks!

Growing up in the 70's and below middle class we would eat spam/treat more than I thought. It was a go to when we would eat salad. Then nothing for decades. Now that I live with a (very young) Asian boyfriend, I have discovered that Spam is now back on the grocery list (along with hotdogs). BF told me that in his family spam & hotdogs where their "red" meat. So I have not gotten used to eating this salty "ham" but refused to buy the big can. We get the single slices. Take tonight's dinner:

Starting off with the Loma Linda Brand Hawaiian plant-based rice bowl with Spam slice pineapple ring sauteed with spray on coconut oil & orange pepper. With Gugen coconut milk pineapple flavor to drink.

I am confused the picture does say Spam Lite with 35% less sodium so why are people asking?

Both my sister-in-law and my boyfriend eat this and cannot tell the difference.
