From this morning's Strib, <http://www.startribune.com//34498114.html>,
from a NYTimees article,
<http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/15/bu...ewanted=2&_r=1
&sq=SPAM&st=nyt&scp=2>

The Times story has a couple fun pictures but the Strib has interesting
reader comments; this is one of my favorites: "No money? Eat Spam!-
Bad advice!

For the first time in history the less money people have the fatter they
are getting. Why? Because of articles like this that encourage people to
suplement their loss of income by eating cheap garbage. Too many people
would rather spend their only $3 on the a trio of double cheeseburgers
from McDonald's dollar menu and be full than a lesser portion of
something healthy. You're better off eating a smaller portion of
something good for you." posted by hozer85.

I entered a recipe contest at the Fair one year * I think I conjured up
a SPAMetizer involving pineapple and cheese. Perhaps it was a variation
on Barfburgers ‹ been a long time and I don't recall the details.

HWSRN has fond memories of SPAM; I haven't had it in the house in 15-20
years, I'll bet. Blech.

Looks like it's a big seller in a tough economy, though. Strange, that,
for its per pound cost!
