Ick, ick, ick on the JB Spamburger. Maybe they thought: It's Hawaii,
they love Spam, let's put it in a burger. Run it up the flagpole and
see who salutes kind of thing. They might do better if they grind it
up and combine it with the burger meat. I did that with mild Italian
sausage and raw shrimp (ground). Mixed them together and made
burgers. It's absolutely something I'll do again except I'll use hot
Italian sausage next time.
