I was skimming a Better Homes & Gardens Cookbook ca 1962
when I found a recipe suitable for "Mockery & Derision"

"15 Minute Banquet"

Cut Can of SPAM into 12 slices
stud with cloves, brown in fry pan.

Add 1 X 11oz can of yams, drained
sprinkle with salt !

Spoon 1/3 c pineapple jam over meat & yams

Heat uncovered, basting often.

Serves 4

People really ate like that 40 years ago ?
SPAM and a small can of yams to feed four ?

Amazing !
