I tried it once. I scraped a tiny piece from top of a newly opened can
with one tine of a fork.
I spit it out and fed the rest to the dog.

He loved it.

I was then a god in his eyes.

That's the difference between dogs and cats, isn't it? You feed a dog,
it thinks you're a god. You feed a cat, it knows it's because it's a god.

Love it fried.

I loved Spam when I was a kid. Fried Spam slices. Glazed Spam. Tge
stuff tasted mighty fine to me in those days, when I was 12 or so.

Haven't had it in more than 30 years, I'm guessing.

TammyM, wondering if I'd like it now. Hmmmm.

I liked it too. But now I find lots of "good" stuff tastes too
salty, so I suspect I wouldn't like spam now.

Haven't had it for a long time but I liked it as a kid. It was imported
to the UK during the war years and was often advertised under the full
name of "American Spiced Ham".

When our meat rationing stamps ran out during WW II my mother bought
Spam, but she served it directly from the can. Hated it. Then many
years later I read in a magazine that you slice it, lay the slices on a
baking pan and put barbeque sause on them and broil. Pretty good.

And yes I remember the Blandings WHAM.

Having lived in Hawaii for a few years, and considering it my second
home, spam rules! I would have starved without it during my years there!

During WWll the UK government also imported peanut butter from the
States. The problem is that they marketed it as a substitute for
regular butter, consequently it just didn't take and practically every
Brit I know from that era hates the stuff.

I happen to like it but peanut butter with everything is a scary
thought.

I guess i have to admit i haven't eaten the stuff in years either.
Living where i do there is so much fresh food available it never occurs
to me to by tinned meats except for the occasional can of tuna.

It was a staple growing up and i continued the tradition through my
collage years but once i moved to a more urban area and got involved
with the local foodies i ceased to think about it till this thread was
started.

When I have you over for dinner, I'll be to serve you my very special
spam-and-peanut-butter appetizers.

The mind reels!

Not really. I always feel like there ought to be some way to prepare it
whereby it would be incredibly good, but I have yet to find it. I've
tried frying it, baking it, putting it on sandwiches with all manner of
condiment, "omletting" it and other things over the years and nothing
seems to work.

Maybe it's because it smells like cat food and heating it just makes it
smell like hot cat food.

Spam is ok, but nothing to brag on. The one application I find hard
to beat is breakfast burritos, specially in a camping situation.
Easy to transport and preserve, I panfry chopped Spam till browned
then add to to O'Brien style potatoes and scrambled eggs to make a
tasty burrito. The high salt content needs little enhancement. Just
add salsa.

<tongue in cheek preparation>

Soak as you would salted cod. Cook as you would ham.
or
Grind with an equal portion of canned anchovies. Use one teaspoon of the
mixture as a healthful substitute for two tablespoons of salt.

I used to feel the same way about commercially produced gefelte fish,
until i leaned to make it myself, and of course crab gefelte is even
better than white fish.
